About the project

The project “Drohiczyn-Poleski” is dedicated to the history of Drohiczyn and Drohiczyn district, as well as historical places that belonged to this region. Here are collected materials from the first mentioning of the city and settlements, churches, forgotten cemeteries, historical places that are part of Drohiczyn district or have ever been until today. This site is maintained only by me in 3 languages Russian, Polish and English.

Each article is updated when new facts appear. On the site in the menu “Tags”, you can select a settlement or other information of interest to you and you will see a catalog of articles on your area. In the article necessarily try to search and specify the metric books on settlements and the place of their storage (online or archive).

Project Goal: To help and guide people who are interested in the history of their family, that the search for genealogy and history of your area is not so difficult. It is not always necessary to pay money in order to achieve results. Also to help to restore family ties that have been broken due to war, revolutions and migrations to other countries.
