[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Surnames Geppert/Rakko/Zell

[Rose Ingram]

Barbara,

The Parish Records Index in the members only section of the SGGEE website, 
shows a birth for a Maria Luise Zell in 1840, Entry #173, on Pabianice 
parish Film 715776, and will give her parents names and ages.

I do not see anything for the name Rakko  - Was he catholic and then married 
a Lutheran girl?
