>This has been up for a little while now but I didn't know if many people
>knew about it. As part of a Polish Roots.com project, a group of
>volunteers have been transcribing data from old school records in the
>following Posen towns:
>
>Bromberg - Bydgoszcz (3 schools)
>Hohensalza - Inowroclaw
>Kolmar (or Chodziesen)- Chodziez
>Krotoschin - Krotoszyn
>Meseritz - Miedzyrzecz
>Pleschen - Pleszew
>Posen - Poznan
>Rawitsch - Rawicz
>Scho(e)nlanke - Trzcianka
>Schrimm - Srem
>Tremessen - Trzemeszno
>Wollstein - Wolsztyn
>Wongrowitz - Wagrowiec
>
>The data is now online and searchable through
>http://polishroots.com/posen_school_search.htm . For some reason though
>the results table won't come up with my Netscape 4.78, but IE works fine
>- so if you have problems viewing the results page with Netscape I
>suggest you try IE or another browser. Most of the names are Germanic
>but there are a moderate number of Polish and Jewish names throughout.
>Information for each name may include birthdate, birthplace, religion,
>father's name and occupation, and future careers. Some records only
>included names, but most contained more information. Enough to break
>through a few brick walls, anyway : ) .

>Good luck,
