[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German migration to Poland?

[PnSWork at aol.com]

Sorry, my cat jumped on the keyboard while I was done typing, and one  of 
the consequences is that the email was sent out long before I got done  
typing.  Here's the rest of the story ... :-)
 
Prussia renamed the areas it acquired through the Polish Partitions. South  
Prussia and New East Prussia were the names give to two sections of land 
annexed  in the Third Partition of Poland (1795).  Almost all of these areas 
were  lost in 1806 (and remained lost after 1815), so the names quickly faded 
 from most people's memories, and documents no longer referred to them  
either.
 
The Prussian Emigration Program was certainly responsible for the many  
colonies that were founded in both South Prussia and New East Prussia during  
this time period.

I've  found occasional references to "South Prussia" and one map showing   
it
covering the area known as Dubrina land on the SGGEE.ORG  site.

Was this short creation of "South Prussia" a major reason  for  migration
to this area?
