This is a gazetteer of the early republic of Poland as it existed from 1918 until 1939. At that time, Poland extended far into the east, including areas which, after 1945, were ceded to the former Soviet republics of Lithuania, Belarus, and the Ukraine. There is also a set of tactical maps on microfiche dating from 1926-1938, produced by the Polish Military Geographical Institute, which corresponds with the jurisdictions and place names used in this gazetteer. The Family History Library fiche number for this set of maps is 6312622. The set includes over 500 fiche.

This gazetteer is arranged with all localities in alphabetical order. Note that the Polish alphabet has several letters with marks: á, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż. These are distinct letters of the Polish alphabet and are alphabetized after the unmarked version of the letter. Information about each locality is given in columns as shown in figure 2 on the following page with translations. The final column indicates the parish offices for various religions. The location is indicated followed by an abbreviation of the religion of the parish. The term loco means that the parish was in the locality itself.
