[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kartei Quassowski

[Paul Rakow]

 Mike, 

    The Kartei Quassowski mainly concerns East Prussia, which was part
 of Prussia, or later part of Germany, during the 19th century.  
 
     It's not for places like Lipno, which were in Poland in the
 19th century. 

   I suppose the reason these books are included in a research
 outline for Poland is that parts of East Prussia are now in Poland, 
 but that's since 1945.
