First, let me say that I'm happy to finally see some action in this group!

Now for my query: Lewis EPPSTEIN was born circa 1871 in Bromberg,
Germany (now some city in Poland).  Supposedly his father was a Rabbi.
He came to New Zealand as a pressman in the boot trade (does that mean
shoes or something else?) and married May Mabel HART.

I don't expect any of you out there to have anything on this, and I
can deal with the New Zealand part on my own.  My question is, what do
I do about Poland?  Do I have any chance of finding official
government or church (temple) documents?
