Dear Lorene and all, I am looking for information about my great-grandparents, Wilhelm and Emilie Post, who were married in Seeger, Pomerania in 1879. They came to the U.S. in 1883. I have found their village, and it is now called Zegrze Pomorskie and it's just east of Bialogard, Poland. I was saving a lot of PRUSSIA-ROOTS e-mails so I could check some of the recommended websites when I had time. I was doing that this morning, and that helped me find the present name of Seeger! Is there anyone out there who knows more about this village or who has ancestors with the name "Post"? Or, can anyone point me in a useful direction? Thanks.

Do you know what church they would have attended? I have a list of church records on CDs. Are you certain they were German? My Polish Cyman family were forced to change their name to the German version, Zieman and when they arrived in the U.S., they changed their name back to Cyman. I would have thought they were German, if I only knew about the last name Zieman.

Hi Stefan, I already looked at the microfilm that you mentioned. Maybe then I need to look at Catholic records. My relative created the family tree around 1963. Vera according to the book "Kirchenb?cher, Kirchenbuch-Duplikate und Standesamtsregister der ehemals brandenburgischen Kreise ... Z?llichau-Schwiebus ..." [church books, duplicates and civil records in the county of ... Z?llichau-Schwiebus ...] the protestant church books don't exist (probably vanished about 1945). There is only a parish register extract from 1800 to 1946. This isn't a complete copy of the church book. It's microfilmed by the LDS church. Are you sure that your ancestors were Protestant ? Schwiebus was a Catholic region, the Protestants were a minority. When did your relative trace the family back ? Before 1945 ? Best regards, Stefan

Hello all! I am new to the listserv. I am looking for help on my great-great-grandmother's family. I had my Bleschke ancestry researched by Bialystok archives two years ago. They found two new siblings of my great-great-grandmother. No one ever heard of these people. A search in archives up to 1909 did not find death or marriage records on these people below. Bertha Olga Bleschke, born 10 Apr 1880 in Suprasl, Bialystok County Hermann Ferdinand Paul Bleschke, born 23 Oct 1878, Choroszcz, Bialystok County Martha Sophia Bleschke, born 04 Apr 1876 in Rostow is another mystery. She was a known relative but no one knows anything about her family. Marriage or death records were not found up until 1909. Then I cannot find any archives in Poland that has evangelical lutheran church records for Schweibus (now Åwiebodzin). My Bleschke family lived in Schwiebus as cloth manufacturers from around 1867 to early 1700s, and possibly before the 1700s. I have contacted so many Polish archives and German lutheran church archives. They say the lutheran records have vanished. A relative, now deceased, did the family tree back to the 1700s. He must have found these records somewhere. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks so much Yvonne.  I happened to find a death cert for a person that I believe is related to one of my families and this was the town that was listed.  I believe they were German but the town is in Poland.  The family name was Teubert/Tabbert.  I will probably try to find any church records through the LDS site first.   First, I wanted to see the name it is today and see what country it was located in.  Looks like the site you sent answers that.  Thanks again.

Does anyone know where Thomas Waldau (Thomas, Waldau) Schlesien, Preussen is? Thank you 

Hi Yvonne thanks for your email - I have tried that and the Luschwitz' that come up are unfortunately not related. There are few and far between 'Indian' born on the LDS site. I think this is because they were RCs and the 'returns' were never sent to England or wherever- unlike the CofE records. I am unsure of the European family line hence I cannot search LDS for German/Prussian/Polish areas...a little frustrating. I am trying to engage a researcher in Poland to help. Thank you for your concern I appreciate it.

I'm looking for information on the Stueck (Stück) family. Jacob Stueck was born in Prussia (perhaps Bischhausen) in 1851 and came to the US around 1870. He had a brother, George Stueck, and sister, Martha Stueck Hoffart, who also immigrated to the US. They all settled in Middletown, CT. There was one brother, Conrad Stueck, who remained in Germany. Does anyone have any information on the Stueck family? Or is anyone else researching them? Thanks, Nancy

Deborah, Plock was in the Kingdom of Poland, a Russian protectorate. It was both a town and a region that bordered West Prussia. My Polish ancestors from that area all seemed to marry "German" women.
