[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: Bobrowniki in county Lipno, Congress Poland (Rose Ingram)

Uwe:

I have the film for another 6 weeks and will do the indexing on this for
the PRI database at SGGEE.

I did make a copy of a page of entries in 1851.  The pastor's name is Pawel
Polkowski.  The villages noted in the columns are "Miszek" which is probably
Mniszek; Bogpomoz and Rybutwy.

All the records in this book are definitely Evangelische and German names.
They may have been recorded by a Catholic priest as you say.   Unless someone
else has a better explanation, my guess is that it was mixed in with the
Catholic books when they were sent to Munich and filmed at the "Kath.
Kirchenbuchamt und Archiv" in Munich.  It's possible the Kneifel didn't know
about these records.

There appear to be about 350 birth entries for for 1846-1860)

1846 to 1860. 1846-1859 is indexed, 1860 is not.  There are not many entries
for each year, and are written in Polish.
