[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Plock Lutheran Church birth record for father

[Spaghettitree at aol.com]

Hi Everyone - to send foreign currency safely and the cheapest way  
possible, (cannot send personal check or international money order or  certified 
check- costs more in transfer fees  and/or bank fees than the  face value, and 
cash in risky unless you know the person, though I have done it  on 
occasion) go to ICE, International Currency Express at _www.foreignmoney.com_ 
(http://www.foreignmoney.com)  telephone  310/278-6628.  Long-established, 
reliable, safe.  Last I heard, the  fee was $10 for a check in foreign currency, 
can do this by credit card if you  wish.  Well recommended.   International 
Reply Coupons are no  longer feasible in most places and not worth much 
anyway..

Hi  Bill-
distant cousin Mara here in Cleveland Ohio--I had much success in  writing 
to the Plock Archives last year for my some of my Manke  relatives--I went 
to my Fifth Third Bank branch here in Lakewood and  wired money via their 
system--if I recall there was a $30-40.00  charge? It is so worth it :) Let me 
know if you want more  info.  
Regards,

father

Bill,

According to maps of Poland, Maszewo is just at  the outskirts of Plock. 
I am not sure if there is a Lutheran church at  Maszewo, but if not, then 
the recording of the birth should have been in  Plock. According to the 
Pradziad database, the records for Plock are  at

Archiwum Państwowe w Płocku
09-400 Płock, ul. Kazimierza  Wielkiego 9B
tel: (24) 262-24-91
fax: 262-24-91
email:  archiwum at plock.com
www.archiwum.plock.com

Since there is an email  address in the above address, I would send them 
an email, in English, and  ask if they can do a search for all children 
whose given names were Eduard  Waldemar, who were born in Maszewo on 
September 14, 1898. They will likely  respond to you in Polish, but that 
can be translated by more than a few of  the smart people on this mail 
list. The response from the archives should  tell you if they have that 
record.

You will then have to figure out  how to get some money wired to their 
account. This last part is the  hardest part, at least it has been for 
me. I am sure that others on this  list can provide you the best method 
to transfer money to the archives,  AFTER you get a response.

Maszewo, Poland. I would like to get a copy of his birth record from  the 
Plock Evangelical church but do not know his father's name or his mother's  
last name at that time. This is because some years after his birth, his mother 
 divorced the father and no one talked about the divorce. The name Behrendt 
is  the step-father's name that the family has used. Shortly before my 
father  passed away he told my brother about the divorce but did not reveal what 
was  his father's last name.

How can I go about finding someone to  research the Plock Evangelical Lutheran 
church books to locate and copy the  birth record?
