[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] EZAB holdings

[Jerry Frank]

Sometimes one never does figure out why a particular record is missing.

One possible explanation is that, sometime after Marianna's birth, the 
family moved to a neighbouring parish.  That might be where the couple 
married but they then moved back to Lipno parish to raise their family.

My grandfather's birth record was missing for a long time.  I had births of 
older and younger siblings in Gostynin parish but not his.  I finally went 
browsing in some neighbouring parishes and sure enough, found his birth 
there.  The family had moved there for about a 5 year period and then 
returned to Gostynin.

There certainly are other possible explanations but this is one.
