General Discussion ( English, German, French, Russian .. inne ) - Information about my grandfather. McMacri - 20-01-2019 - 20:27 Temat postu: Information about my grandfather.
Hello everyone, my name is Daniel, I am from Argentina, trying to get information about my great grandfather and his son, my grandfather. I am planning on acquiring the Polish citizenship so I need any official records that states their heritage.
My great grandfather, Antoni Zelman, was born in Pinsk the 12th of February of 1902, in Molodelchitsy (Russia at the time, now Belarus). Son of Andrew Ivanov Zelman and Agrafena Vlasova. I managed to get the baptism record from the archives of Belarus:
I know they migrated to Argentina in 1931 as it appears in the immigrants archive of people that came by ship
I have some pages of the Polish family passport which they came with but it doesn't actually say Nationality: Polish
Here is a link with the pictures of the Passport.
My grandfather, Michel Zelman, was born the 13th of January of 1929. I cannot find his birth records. I am not completely sure about the name of Michel’s mother, my great grandmother and Anton's wife, it may have been Weira Protazoviska, but I only have that information from my grandfather's Argentinean marriage records.
Being born in 1902 I know there could be army documents at Brest Archives,
List of town´s conscripts from 1921-1936
List of town conscript born in 1902
I sent an email enquiring about said archives.
And Census Archives
Census
Registration Card from 1919-1935
Census questionnaires from 1922-1931
I been asked to send a petition by post mail to get the military info but so far I haven't been able to do it.
I need to know what else could I find, I need the birth certificate of Michel, and a marriage certificate of Antoni, but I don't know how to get those.
How should I proceed?

Have you tried to write to ZAGS in Pinsk: zags_pinsk@tut.by, if they have birth and marriage records from Koczanowicze orthodox church from after 1923 or if they can check birth and marriage records from Pinsk?

On the stamp in the passport is written 'Rzeczpospolita Polska', so in my opinion it was a passport issued to a Polish citizen.
