[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kartei Quassowski

[Earl.Schultz]

Worth, Sggee has probably close to a complete set of the Kartei Quassowski
books in its Library and we try to bring them to each convention for people
to look through.  Although in German, they can provide important keys to
your research based on my personal experience.  We had traced my Leichnitz
line back to the latter half of the 1600s in Thorn, Poland and it was our
belief that that individual was the father of this entire line.  However, I
found two Leichnitz females in those books born in the early half of the
1600s and in a different location in Poland.  Just when I though I could
relax and give up this hobby I now have some new leads to follow.  :-))

I'm sure Howard would be willing to do lookups for you, given time.  He did
a lookup and reported in this newsgroup just a few weeks ago.

The Family History Library has just published a new
research outline for Poland.  A resource it identifies
is: Borchert, Reinhard, "Die Kartei Quassowski,"
(Hamburg: Verein fur Familienforschung in Ost- und
Westpreussen e.v., 1992), FHL book 943.8 D22k.

An index to this multi-volume work is available online
at <http://www.kartei-quassowski.de.vu/>  A quick scan
showed a number of names that are found in the area
around Plock: Bleich, Dobslaff, Fenske, Klammer,
Kletke, Krause, Lange, Matz, Mielke, Prochnow, Rahn,
Rinas, Zielke.  There are probably others.

Has anyone used the "Kartei Quassowski?"  Does anyone
know whether it actually includes information on the
settlements along the Vistula?
