The records are housed at the the Archdiocesan Archives of Gniezno, and the Archdioces refers genealogists to this gentleman. He replied via two emails, each with a group of attached digital photographs of the various church register entries. However, there was no professional report giving all the detailed information one would expect from a certified professional. (He does not advertize himself as a certified professional.) I'm in the process of exchanging emails to get better details for each record. >How should I approach citing this information? As an email? Jean, I'm just now catching up on a ton of email that backlogged while I was on the road. I don't see where anyone has answered this question of yours from 10/14. Have you seen the three examples under EE 7.19 "Church Records: Photocopies of Individual Records" (pp. 334-335)? The text is much too lengthy to replicate here, but that section deals with the kind of situation you describe.
