Judy: Have you checked any of the online databases? 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.

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. Becky Post La Crosse, Wisconsin, U.S.A. -----Original Message----- From: Lorene Seman Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 2:58 PM To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Prussian/Polish researcher Judy: Have you checked any of the online databases?
