Poznan Project

If you are researching your Polish ancestors, and "Posen" is listed as their place of origin, this may be of  interest: a searchable online database of 19th century marriage records from the historic Greater Poland (then Prussian Province of Poznan). You can read about it at the project website.
Thanks to our Outreach Services Librarian for passing this on to us.
