Genealogy / Requesting information from Poznan Parish records (sample letter) [3]
I have located references to potential relatives in the Poznan Project database. The Parish and location is listed along with the address.
Can anyone tell me what the correct procedure is for requesting information in writing? Should a check be sent at the time of the request?
Thank You

History / Poland Around 1883 [30]
Wow, sorry for creating such a fire storm. I was actually looking at a map on-line of Poland/Prussia in the 1880's and that's where I got the "Posen" spelling from.
But now, that the can of worms is opened... I am wondering about the renaming of Polish cities and towns buy the Germans during that period. I have come across a few locations on immigration records that I can not find on a current map of Poland. It may be because they no longer exist or they may be the German version.
Does anyone know of a good cross reference?
Thanks for all your help.

History / Poland Around 1883 [30]
My grandfather immigrated to America in 1883 as a young man of 24. The ship manifest lists country as West Prussia. I am pretty sure he came from somewhere around Posen or Inowroclaw.
I am interested in what was going on in Poland around this time that might have caused him to leave. Any insights are greatly appreciated.
Thank You
