    3. Sending inquiries on place names in Prussia to the Posen List is a very good way to find answers. James Birkholz, the list administrator and many other active researchers throughout the world often offer much clarity on place names as they existed and as they have been changed as well as insight into the area and / or town or village. Questions can be directed to Posen-L@rootsweb.com or visit the web site at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/1311/PosenLEntryPg.html Joanie Ingraham P.S. The people on this list are familiar with East and West Prussian place names, but the majority of immigrants to the Marquette, Adams, Green Lake and Waushara area came out of the Posen Province of Prussia. Another good resource is Brian Podoll's book, "Prussian Netzelanders and Other German Immigrants in Green Lake, Marquette & Waushara Counties, Wisconsin."
