Posen (Poznan) is the major Polish town in this region; above is the Rathaus in the market plaza at the center of the old town. In the pre 1772 Germans migrations into Poland there were many that settled in Posen. The oldest and major church in Posen is Holy Cross Church. Here are pictures of this church.

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is now the All Saints Catholic Church. Following is a listing of the microfilms available from the Family History Library for this church:
