You can write your letter in English. They will reply in Polish. Give them as much information as you can. A must is the village or town in which they lived. If you know the province, that helps, as there are many towns with the same names in other provinces, just as there are many towns with the same name in the US. Give as much information as you can, i. e. your ancestors full name (using maiden names, also), dates of birth, siblings names and where they were from. In other words you are giving them all the data they need for you to connect with the known relative you wish to contact. Give them that person's full name and their ancestors. It may take up to a year to hear from anyone. They will not let you know where your relatives are. They will contact them, and if they wish to reach you, they will. Send a letter to your relative in another envelope for them to mail it to them. Tell them the relationship to this person you wish to contact and how you connect with them as a relative. Remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
NOTE: They will not try to help you if you do not present enough data to find your family member. They will not go on a wild goose chase for you. Good luck.

LOCAL RECORDS OFFICES IN POLAND
Most towns and large villages have (or had) an Office of Civil Records. These offices are similar to county courthouses in the U.S. The records they kept are those that are less than 100 years old. The National Library in Poland can determine the correct local civil records office for the village in which you are researching. Send them as much information as possible, including the name of the parish, province, powiat, kreis, gubernia, or gmina if known:
Biblioteka Nardowa
ul. Hankiewicza 1
00-973 Warszawa

You may also contact the local civil records office (Urzad stanu cywilnego) this way:
