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

[Bronwyn Klimach]

Hi Bob and Rose,
I've looked at the EZA site many times hoping that records I cannot find
elsewhere might turn up there.  No joy to date...  Am I correct in thinking
that their holdings, certainly for Congress Poland, are fewer than Polish
Archives and the Mormons?  Is there any/much overlap of records held by EZA
with these other places?  I notice that very similar records for Christburg
(Kr Stuhm) are held by all three, however none have records for nearby Alt
Christburg (Kr Mohrungen) - the place of interest to me.
It is great to read of your success with these Archives Bob, and their
prompt service.  I've heard very little about people using the EZA and their
results.  This is certainly a resource that should be mentioned more often
for folk struggling to find he location of records.
Bronwyn.
