[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Helwig from Wolschebuden, Lipno vicinity

[Linda Marks Pauling]

Daryl, I am currently working with a film of confirmations from the Lipno 
parish that cover 1876-1906. It is very likely that both Augusta and Adolph 
will be on this film.
It is "Lipno Par. Ewang.-Augsb. Bierzowanie 1876-1906 Confirmations 
#2,150,611
Since you are visiting the FHL, you may want to order this film and view it 
yourself.
It is an easy one to begin with because it is in tabular format with the 
confirmands name in one column, followed by the village, names of parents 
including maiden name of mother, and village and date of birth.
Meanwhile, when I go to the FHL next week, I will look to see if they are on 
this film.

You will also want to view the films for births, marriages, and deaths in 
the Lipno parish. They are filmed from 1808-1865 and yes, they are in 
Polish.
The numbers are:
716,606    1808-1823 assorted
714,854    1824-1830
1831-1839    714,855
1840-1844    714,856
1845-1847    714,857
1848-1851    714,858
1852-1855    714,859
1856-1858    714,860
1859-1862    714,861
1863-1865    714,862

I have the indices for 1808-1839, but I think you will want to begin with 
the most recent to find your greatgrandfather. I did check 1831-1839 and see 
there births for:
Helmig (Helwig?) Karolina 1831; Jan 1832, and Karol, 1834.

I also looked at 719,562 which is for Wola Lipno 1864 and there is a birth 
record in 1864 for Hellwig, Fryderyk Edward #197. He would not be old enough 
though to have a child in 1875.

You are beginning on a great adventure and with the helps on www.sggee.org 
you will soon be extracting at least the pertinent information from these 
records!
