*Żoń* – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie wielkopolskim, w powiecie chodzieskim, w gminie Margonin. W latach 1975-1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa pilskiego. The church is in Margonin, the gmina. The LDS have microfilmed the records for 1690 thorugh 1955. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=344582&subject_disp=Germany%2C+Preu%C3%9Fen%2C+Posen%2C+Margonin+%2D+Church+records&columns=*,0,0 I hope they were in this parish for this entire period of time.

I have to disagree with Tina on this one - since the Poznan Project database found the couple in the Zon parish, this is where the Catholic church is! What you can do to find out more is to see if you can get a copy of the original marriage entry of the church book. This will most likely not give you the parents' names (otherwise they would be listed in the Poznan Project), but maybe it will tell you from which village both of them came. The other option is to see if you can get the civil record from the marriage. Civil records in Germany started in late 1874, which means there should be one for the marriage you are looking for. You want to look for civil records from Margonin for this! Right now the LDS page gives an error when searching (at least for me) - see if civil records where filmed by the LDS. If they weren't, you may have to write to the archive. I also suggest that you sign up for the Posen (Poznan) mailing list, since there will be more people who can help there (for information go to www.posen-l.com) Best, Andre Tina Ellis wrote: > *Żoń* – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie wielkopolskim, w powiecie > chodzieskim, w gminie Margonin.

I'm sorry for my error. I went through this one too fast. Andre is correct. I did not go far enough down on the list at the LDS catalog. That's because the Z has a diacritical mark,and those are listed at the end after the places starting with the regular Z. http://www.genpol.com/Katalog_Zasobow_Metrykalnych-parafia_10415.html The LDS has the microfilmed list indexed at this site: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=769854&disp=Ksi%C4%99gi+metrykalne%20%20&columns=*,0,0. They have records from 1758 through 1948.
