[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Warsaw records 1860s

[Worth Anderson]

Jerry Frank has correctly pointed out that "Warsaw" can mean a number of things.  If the reference is to the city itself, here is a (Polish language) link to a Wikipedia page for the main Lutheran (i.e., Evangelical-Augsbergian) parish in Warsaw.  

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parafia_Ewangelicko-Augsburska_%C5%9Awi%C4%99tej_Tr%C3%B3jcy_w_Warszawie

And here is a link to a Wikipedia page on the Warsaw Evangelical Cemetery, which seems well preserved (and is not too far from the Warsaw Family History Center!)

The cemetery has some huge mausoleums in it, as many of the successful merchants/industrialists in Czarist Warsaw were ethnic Germans, including the Wedel chocolate-makers.
