Hi Debbie, The correct Lipno is in the Province of Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Powiat Lipnowski, Gmina Lipno m. My grandparents residence was in the village of Osmialowo before they came to America. This village is approx. 7 miles SW of Lipno. I have already done a LDS search for records for Lipno and there is nothing later than 1880. I was hoping to find microfilm for 1890 and later but LDS does not have microfilm that current. If I have missed something please let me know. I was fortunate to obtain the marriage record (1911) for my grandparents and the birth record (1911) for my Aunt from this Roman Catholic Parish in Lipno. I guess I will have to write to one of the other repositories. Would it be better to write the diocese first or the state archives. Nancy

Nancy, Thanks for providing so much info! Your best bet would be to contact the diocesan archive, in Polish. Keep in mind that some do not respond to inquiries; Gniezno is like that but I've had good luck with the Wl~ocl~awek diocesan archives. Archiwum Diecezjalna ul.
