Poznan Project Updated

If you have ancestors from the province of Posen (Poznan) in Prussia this announcement is for you.  Lucasz Bielecki of the Poznan Marriage Indexing Project has announced that the project is expanding.  The original scope of the indexing project covered the years 1835-1884.  Now the project will cover the entire 19th Century.  100 years of marriage records from Posen, Prussia!

If you haven't already used this resource I highly recommend it.  Simply type in a surname and you will be presented with a list of all occurrences of that surname in the index.  The search may be a little slower than you are used to, but it is definitely worth the wait.  The best part of this project is that if you find a hit in the database and you make a donation, Lucasz will send a scan of the original record.

I have had great luck using this service and was able to find the marriage record of my Great-Great Grandparents, Johann Marsch and Emilie Rosner.  I gladly made a donation to the project and less than a week later this was waiting in my inbox:

If you have Prussian roots and know the family is from Posen I highly recommend this project.  And if you find it helpful, please consider supporting this excellent service.
