Would Lipno be covered?

 Dear Worth, 

     Yes, I've tried the Kartei Quassowski a few times, (though I've never
 actually found anything useful to me in it). 

     The Kartei Quassowski isn't just one book - there are about 20 or 30
 volumes in the set.  Mostly it contains isolated snippets of information
 about people from the province Ostpreussen, (East Prussia), but there
 are a few people from outside the area mentioned. My guess is that
 you won't find much from the Plock area. 

     Could you tell us more about this research outline for Poland? 
 Is it useful, how can you get hold of a copy, etc.?
