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

I have requested birth or marriage records from several archives in Poland and all of them require money to be wired to the bank account which is stated in their reply to you. Fees vary depending on research time involved locating the record. ($10 - $30) US dollars
Some Archives may want an initial deposit before starting a search (about $8). Advise them that it costs about $25-30 bank fees to wire money no matter the amount, and that you would rather make one payment and offer to pay about $20-25 up front if you are ordering one or two records.
I'm assuming that recently the archives have had difficulties with getting payment after locating the record and giving a preliminary report in their reporting emails. Now the reporting letter only indicates they have found birth record for so'n so and entry #xx and do not give parents names. Thus - pay up, (don't forget the file No.), send a scan of your wiring receipt from the bank, and then wait for your record in the mail - about 1-2 weeks.

If you are going to use this method, be sure that it is acceptable to the receiving end. Some archives will accept one and only one method of payment.
