The total cost to index the Plock records is $2,550. The qualifying

records Excel file. Please make sure to note "For Plock Indexing Project"
on your contribution.

The indexing of the vital records for some of the other towns in this
area has been completed. They are BIELSK, BODZANOW, DROBIN, SIERPC and
WYSZOGROD. In addition, indexes to Books of Residence for GOSTYNIN and
RACIAZ are also available. It is worthwhile checking the surname lists
for all these towns with families intermarrying and moving around the
district.
