The Duchy of Pomerania (Pommern) adopted the Protestant Reformation in 1534. In 1648, it was divided between Sweden and Brandenburg-Prussia. Prussia gradually acquired Swedish Pomerania, finishing the job in 1815. Then in 1945, the German population of eastern Pomerania was ethnically cleansed by Stalin when he shifted the German-Polish border westwards. The area was also devastated and substantially de-populated in the Thirty Years War (1618-1848). The records on the LDS site are Lutheran Church records David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: Lorene Seman To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 10:29 PM Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] New Pommern document collection LDS Familysearch Are these German records and/or Polish?
