Today's Follow Friday post is about the Poznan Marriage Project, a splendid database of extracted nineteenth marriage records. Headed by Łukasz Bielecki, the Poznan Marriage Project contains 651,594 records from civil, Lutheran, and Catholic parishes within the former Prussian province of Posen, now Poznań, Poland.
In addition to the search function available by surname, location, and date, the site also provides a wealth of information about what records are available for various villages and towns.
An example (for Rawitsch, the village in Posen where my ancestors are from) of the detailed record and repository information available:
