In that case I would suggest that you start your search with the Lutheran 
Parish of Lowicz.  I see where Lutheran records are available in Warsaw 
Archives for the years 1856-74.  I cannot find where the LDS have 
microfilmed them, if they have.  Steve obviously has some info from that 
area so perhaps he can fill us in as to the source.

For before 1856, you may have to search Catholic films in the region (lots 
of those are microfilmed) or check into Kutno Lutheran films which have 
also been microfilmed.
