Research Reports from Polish archives by Polish researcher

The following is research for the time period 1770-1820 available in the archives of Warsaw, Gdansk, Poznzn, Bydgosczcz, and Torun, Poland.  These are current research reports showing documents existing in the present time period and available for research.  The material was gathered from Polish archives by a privately engaged Polish researcher.
 
Research for Eastern Europe, given as a reference in unpublished article by Dr. R. Reuben Drefs titled, "Are we Germans from Poland or Germans from Russia?"   

This file could be important because it contains not only lists of names (some names) but gives information about colonists leaving Duchy of Warsaw.   Thus some places of origin and perhaps directions of trips may be mentioned. Material came mostly 1807‑14. 

GOVERNMENTAL COMMISSION OF INCOMES AND TREASURY

This file contains the documents of ministry of treasury of the Duchy Warsaw. It is a very extensive collection, containing several thousands volumes from the Duchy of Warsaw time. After using ELA database, this file could be useful. ELA lists only 2 archive units from KRPiS (shortened version of this file name) that is helpful in our research.  Very extensive section but some parts of inventory consist of series of volumes for one subject concerning Bydgoszcz department. It was quite extensive territory, including the area of former Netze district and Torun, Chelmno/Kulm territory.

87 (archive unit number, the exact archive reference is: KRPiS 87)
Documents concerning landed states classification in Bydgoszcz department

All titles are in Polish, most of contents of this file are written in Polish, some documents are in two versions: Polish and German, (some official letters are in French)

89 Documents ‑ incomes for passport tax from Bydgoszcz department.   Perhaps some names of persons obtaining passports are included here

138 Documents, concerning colonists from Bydgoszcz department

This unit contains some requests of colonists from Stodoly, amt Strzelno, 1812
and from Nieszawka, Kozibor, Dulinow and the  names of colonists: Heinrich Schroeder, Cornelius Janz, Heinrich Bartel, Jackob Ekert, Erdmann Meyer (representatives of each village); different letters and official decisions concerning tax paid by these colonists are added; one of the letters mention the documents from Prussian Kriegs und Domaenen Kammer “Das Etablissement der Wuertembergischen Colonisten” in  estates of Strzelno, villages: Bielsko, Gross Slawsk, Kl. Slawsk, Stodoly, Zbitowo, Ciecherz. Colonists are mentioned as settled under Prussian occupation.

144 Documents of towns and villages that belonged to Bydgoszcz (Bromberg) department

‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑
There are also many volumes concerning other area of our interest: Kalisz department as an example: 234 Documents of towns and villages belonged to Kalisz department, 1809 other areas had 372 Documents concerning colonists in Poznan department. There were 439 Documents concerning colonists and foreigners in Radom district. 

586 Tax of artisans from Chelmno (Kulm) district 1811

This volume and other with similar containing seems the most interesting in my opinion.  As I have already written it contains lists of names of all craftsman from this area. This list includes artisans from cities and villages. Names, Profession, and village are always mentioned. The list contains only a small part of rural population. However, there were no simple composition of the category “craftsman” and Farmer in early 19th century Polish condition.  Most of rural craftsmen were also farmers ‑ owned land and lived like other peasants. A part of them ‑ millers, innkeepers belonged to the higher peasant class, others could be described as “middle class”, but most of them are normal peasants/farmers, who had two professions.

This group of documents is complete or almost complete for Bydgoszcz department. Next volumes contain materials with lists of craftsman for other districts.

614 Register of craftsman in Duchy of Warsaw.  I am not sure whether one volume can really contain names of artisans from whole Duchy of Warsaw. Perhaps these are statistical data.

704 Detailed documents of fire premiums collected in the Poznan/Posen  department. 

This kind of document was listed many times in other parts of inventory. This is material of a kind of fire assurance. It would be possible that it contains names of persons who paid this insurance premium. I suppose that it was obligatory at that time.

850 Documents that concerned colonists 1809‑1815

This volume concerns Warsaw department, very extensive at that time, containing not only the areas close to Warsaw, but also Leczyca/Lentschutz and Lodz area. This volume is the most extensive from whole series of the material viewed  (500‑700 pages). 

I have found 2 lists of colonists, perhaps there are more lists but not very much (2‑3) list of colonists from Sanniki state (=national ‑ owned by government, like Domaenen in Prussia) land estates, villages Lwowek, Piotrowek.  These lists are quite interesting, because they contain names, place of living and country of origin ‑ Wuerttemberg mostly.

The next list concern other national landed estates from Zgierz and Leczyca district, lists some 20 persons.

The next volumes contain also  (see number 88) lists of <<czopowe>> tax for the following districts:

922 Bydgoszcz
923 Walcz
924 Radziejow
925 Kowal
926 Chelmno
927 Brzesc
928 Michalow
949 Register of incomes from 10, 20 and 24% tax from church and nobility landed estates in Sieradz district according to the project for 1814/1815, 1812‑15.

These are registers of incomes, but perhaps some names are also included

1105 Lists of artisans paying tax, district Babimost, dep. Poznan

1107 Lists of <<czopowe>> tax for villages and inns located in district Krobia, Poznan department and for other districts of Poznan department, 1812: 
1108 Pyzdry
1109 Krotoszyn
1110 Miedzyrzecz
1111 Wschowa
1112 Powidz
1113 Szrem
1114 Babimost (again)
1115 Gniezno
1116 Koscian
1117 Wegrowiec
1118 Oborniki
1119 Poznan
1120 Sroda
1121 Sroda (again)

1161 Detailed lists of czopowe tax for rural areas of Siedlice department   Perhaps “detailed” means that some other data (names?) might be included. 

Next volumes contain material for this tax for different districts of the Siedlice department (east of Warsaw) and from  volume number 1200 with different tax materials for Warsaw department

1248 Documents of people who lost their job, 1811 ‑ not sure what does it could mean; there are different possibilities: workers of offices; peasants who became free etc.
1 department Krakow
2 Radom
3 Warszawa 
4 Plock
5 Lomza
6 Siedlce

from about 3301 ‑ documents of Management of Control (section of Commission of Incomes) for Kalisz province; It might be quite interesting, as most of documents concern time up to 1820, some material from before 1815 is also listed; in this section different landed estates (national= former domaenen)  are mentioned alphabetically, there are also some church institutions

from  3433 Mazowsze (= Warsaw province)

for example:
3453 Sompolno town in Mazowsze province, material concerning tax, 1812‑29

Material from Kalisz province

At the end of this collection is located section “Division of National Landed estates and Forests”

3776 Lists of artisans from villages of the departments of Plock, Poznan, Bydgoszcz 1809‑11, 155 pages; it is not complete material, this volume was made on 1858 from fragments of former deleted file

= Generaldirektorium Suedpreussen.

This collection consist of 2 parts:

‑ Department of Southern Prussia 
‑ Department of New Eastern Prussia 

The most important is the first one. This file has documents from the period of 1793‑1806, 16885 volumes.

Department Kalisch,  244 volumes.
Department Posen, 273 volumes.
Department Warschau, 168 volumes.

 In addition these very important files are not complete. There exists a cardfile for the division VII and VIII which could be used as a provisional inventory.  Using the existing inventory:

Generaldirektorium Suedpreussen (South Prussia)

Division III Departement Kalisch

Each Departmental division was divided in two parts: Generalia and detailed problems. Only the first one is preserved. These volumes could also contain detailed information, however, so it is possible to use it in research.

Dzia X Geistliche Gueter, Kirchen und Schulwesen (Catholic and also Protestant churches and schools) numbers1‑258, 159 volumes. 
Here are some problems with comparing the volume number from the inventory that is in Warsaw (159 volumes) and general printed 
guide almost 3000. I suppose that this problem may result from the fact that this collection is not decisively arranged. In the case 
of  XV division we can see that two notions of word “volume" as an Archive unit are used: a little fascicle or great book made from 
some  numbers of fascicles. 

XVa Indaganda, files 1‑59, 5870 fascicles arranged alphabetically according to the names of villages: printed questionnares filled
by Prussian officers; it concerns economical problems and population in each village.

I found the next part of inventory of collection General Direktorium of Sudpreussen. The part found earlier is a paper copy of 
inventory written by German archive workers before sending this file to Poland. This inventory contains division 1‑6. The rest of 
divisions are available only as a film. This is a very bad copy of German inventory. It contains division 7‑15, but sometimes it’s  
impossible to read it. It was the reason, I suppose, that the paper copy wasn’t made for this part of Generaldirektorium collection.  

120 Namentliches Verzeichnis der etablerten Kolonisten in Kammerdeoartemetnt Petrikau
-	names of colonists, 65 pages this material is arranged according to the administration divisions ‑aemter, the name of village

-	I suppose the period of contract or established the time of arriving of settler, this period begins usually since 1803.

 ‑‑‑‑only names, first names and some dates from about 1803, 1804, 1805 are listed.

There are here 59 volumes arranged according to the names of villages: number 1 = letter A etc. number 50 contains the villages 
beginning with S, 51 with T ‑ that’s difficult to read -- very bad copy of inventory.

Depatement Posen must be included. This territory contained e.g.. Nieszawa (Drews found by me in Klein Nieszawka and Czerniewice near Torun) and Radziejow, Przedecz, Brzesc, Kowal ‑ the areas of German  settlements near the area of Konin .
Senator’s Nowosilcow Chancellerry 1815‑30 (office); 1813‑30 (archive collection). 945 volumes. Most of this collection is filmed.

124 Matters concerning passports deliverance 1826‑30, 322 pages, film 5268

I viewed volumes 119 and 120. Documents from the beginning of this period are very small, these are principally letters of officials, 
different certificates and passports or copies; in volume 119 a part of the passports are devastated, documents in the vol. 120 are
 better conserved. These documents are written in Russian, Polish, German and French. I’m sure that a part of Hopf references is 
related to this file: AA Kanc.Nowosilcof  ‑ Nowosilcow Chancellerry; Other reference mentioned by you ‑ AA Kanc. Lanskoje‑ 
concern the chancellery of the temporary governor of Duchy of Warsaw during Russian occupation 1813‑1815 ‑ governor L~ans~ki –
 Lanskoj is the Russian version of name. I wasn’t able to find this file as a separated archive collection. I found only one volume in 
the
 Chancellery of Nowosilcow.

Personal Chancellery of the Governor in the Kingdom of Poland. Passport Department. 1831‑1862   4094 volumes.

The material is arranged according to years beginning from 1831. There are separated volumes for former officers of Polish army
 and all persons suspected by Russian authorities; only this kind of person is mentioned by the index that is located in the typed 
inventory. However, there are handwritten indexes for each year in this file.

Public Registers and other records from archives of parish and community offices of the area of so called East of the Bug River 
regions; It doesn’t concern the territory by which we are interested in. This area, a part of Austrian Empire, it’s a territory situated 
between Congress Poland and Bessarabia. It was the shorter way for traveling to Bessarabia.  Zaleszczyki was a town situated near
 the border.

Division V: Records from parish offices of Evangelic Augsburg Church communities and Helvetian faith 1759‑1939;

Division VI: Public Registers of Evangelic Augsburg Church communities of Augsburg and Helvetian faith as well as other Evangelic 
religions 1767‑1938 There are for example the parish registers for the following communities (I mention only collections which contain
 the material from the end of 18 and beginning of next century. Bandro~w  5,  index of baptized (1788‑36) and deceased persons about

I found out that the following collections may be useful for our research:
Headman of the Konin District 1816‑66, 34 volumes
Headman of the L~e~czyca District 1817‑1868 16 volumes
Headman of the Kujawy District 1811‑1866 120 volumes.
Kreis Justitz Commission zu Sieradz 1793‑1807 65 volumes.

These files are situated in the other Warsaw Archive ‑ the archive of the City of Warsaw. 
Protestant Warsaw Church Registers, vol. 82
This volume contains data from 1802‑1806. There is no marriage register for the period required by you. However it could be useful 
to view this and other registers. I saw some information that described people as colonists by Warschau, aus Marienburg, 
Wuerttemberg etc. territories. 

Generaldirektorium Suedpreussen

Senator Novosilcov Chancellery 119 (passport matters), this volumes contains information from 2 March 1815 to 9 December 1819 
passports must be signed only by Lanskoy, President of the temporary Government p. 48 letter in French concerning the trip of 
colonists brothers Vedel? settled in Russia. They would like to come from Rusiia to Poland for doing some familial affairs. They have 
passports given by the Governor of Volhynia.  Now I see that this file is not a true passport registry. Some other institutions were responsible for this task (Ministry of Interior Affairs, Provincial Councils). Senator Novosilcov was Russian officer who was personal representative of the emperor. Senator was interested in all affairs in Poland ‑ so we have some volumes concerning passports in his collection. This file doesn’t register all passports ‑ there are only letters to the senator and his decisions in particular cases.

Generaldirektorium of Suedpreussen

I found the next part of inventory of collection Generaldirektorium of Suedpreussen. The part found earlier is a paper copy of inventory written by German archive workers before sending this file to Poland. This inventory contains division 1‑6. The rest of division is available only as a film. This is a very bad copy of the German inventory. It contains division 7‑15, but sometimes it's really impossible to read it. It was the reason, I suppose, that the paper copy wasn't made for this part of Generaldirektorium collection.  

89 Generalkapitulation nebst Balance von den Geborenen, Getrauten und Gestorbenen von 1802bis 1803 im kammerdepartement Kalisch it' s only a statistic data, 2 pages only.

a"mter, the name of village (place of settlement of colonists is usually mentioned. The list contains only first and last names and some dates which mean, I suppose the perriod of contract or establish the time of arriving of settler, this perriod beginns usually since 1803.

examples of information taken from this volume:
p. 7 amt Iwanowice Kolonie Kuhlhausen‑ 1‑ Mueller Carl some names are the same like those from your list of Arcis colonists, but the first names are different, so it's not sure. Now I think thats no proof. After viewing other list of names I see that a part of names must be the same if we have several hundreds persons.

There are here 59 volumes arranged according to the names ov villages: number 1 = letter A etc. number 50 contains the villages begining with S, 51 with T ‑ that's dificult to read causing very bad copy of inventory.

Depatement Posen must be included. This territory contained f. ex. Nieszawa (Drews found by me in Klein Nieszawka and Czerniewice near Torun) and Radziejow, Przedecz, Brzesc, Kowal ‑ the areas of hollands settlement near the area of Konin . I suppose that Kammerdepartament Warschau can be useful too ‑ it contains the territories that you are interested in:
Zgierz, Gostynin, Klodawa.

I viewed volumes 119 and 120. Documents from the begining of this perriod are very small, there are principally letters of officilas, different certificates and passports or copies; in the vol. 119 a part of passports is devasted, documents in the vol. 120 are better conserved. These documents are written in Russian, Polish, German and French. I'm sure that a part of Hopf references is related to this file: AA Kanc.Nowosilcof  ‑ Nowosilcow Chancellerry; Other reference mentioned by you ‑ AA Kanc. Lanskoje‑ concern the chancellery of the temprary governor of Warsaw Duchy during Russian occupation 1813‑1815 ‑ governor Lanski ‑ Lanskoj is the russian version of name. I wasn't able to find this file as a separated archive collection. I found only one volume in the Chancellery of Nowosilcow.

The material is arranged according to years beginning from 1831. There are separated volumes for former officers of Polish army and all persons suspected by Russian authorities; only this kind of persons is mentioned by the index that is located in the typed inventory. However there are handwritten indexes for each year in this file.

Protestant Warsaw Church Registers, vol. 82 This volume contains data from 1802‑1806. There is no marriage register for the period. However it could be useful to view this and other registers. I saw some information describing people as colonists bey Warschau, aus Marienburg, Wittenberg etc. territories. 

Generaldirektorium Suedpreussen

VII  298 ‑  Die emphiteutischen und Lebtagsbesitzungen der Intendentur Konin ‑ very short file of letters concerning landlords as emphiteutischen besitzeren.

Senator Novosilcov Chancellery 119 (passport matters), this volumes contains information from 2 March 1815 to 9 December 1819 passports must be signed only by Lanskoy, President of the temporary Government p. 48 letter in French concerning the trip of colonists brothers Vedel? settled in Russia. They would like to come from Rusiia to Poland for due some familial affairs. They have passports given by the Governor of Volhynia.  Now I see that this file is not a true passport registry. Some other institution were responsible for this task (Ministry of Interior Affairs, Provincial Councils). Senator Novosilcov was Russian officer who was personal represenative of the Emperor. Senator interested in all affairs in Poland ‑ so we have some volumes concerning passports in his collection.  This file doesn't register all passport ‑ there are only letters to the senator and his decisions in particular cases. I wasn't able to visit another Warsaw archive where some materials like parish registers, collections of headmen of Kujawy, Sieradz etc. district are located. 

Central Religious Authorities of the Kingdom of Poland

This file contains documents of different authorities responsible for religious institutions. In reality it's only the rest of the former extensive collection deleted during the WW2.

Collection of documents of Albert Breyer from 20th Century - Albert Breyer (1889‑1939)- teacher in German school in Sompolno, (former district Kolo), researcher in the field of regional history.

This collection consists of the personal documents of Albert Breyer, his notes from historical works and archive sources, fragments of journals, Protestant books, maps, fragments of documents of evangelical communities from the former Congress Kingdom of Poland. 19 century, mostly the lists of communities, members who pay church contributions, also fragments of the documents of artisan unions and some documents of villages (also German communities). .

Provinz Posen, Poznan 1904; 
R. Hildt Die Unierte Evangelische Kirche in Polen, „Ekklesia", Leipzig
1938, vol. V, pages 111‑127; and, more general:
Bitter, Handwoerterbuch der Preissischen Verwaltung, Leipzig 1906, vol. II.

Land records (documents of local tribunals from pre‑partition Poland).
This is an extensive file. In Poznan archive are situated not only the documents from the former Poznan province (tribunals: Poznan, Koscian, Walcz (= Deutsch Krone), Wschowa, but also Kalisz province (tribunals: Kalisz, Konin, Pyzdry, Gniezno, Kcynia, Naklo) and Inowroclaw province (tribunals in Inowroclaw and Bydgoszcz). A part of these tribunals existed only before 1772 (Walcz=Deutsch Krone, Naklo, Bydgoszcz, Inowroclaw), when this area was taken by Prussia and organized as „Netzedistrikt".   The documents of local tribunals concern different juridical questions. A part of them was a kind of notarial books, which registered different transactions. The tribunals were an institution of nobility, but the books registered many transactions of citizens and peasants, especially when the contract concerned a peasant and nobleman. It's a case of contracts of foundation “holland" villages. The way of writing and ranging transactions (according to the date, not the name of person or village) is the cause that this very rich historical source is often difficult to use. Nevertheless we can view a specified series of books for one or more district and find different information concerning a searched person, if he (she) was a nobleman lived in this area. This task is more complicated if we are looking for a peasant, but the case of “hollands" give us some possibilities. The basic problem is the extensive sources ‑ one book has several hundreds or sometime thousand’s pages. Viewing several hundreds volumes would be a risk without a guarantee of finding something interesting. Our situation is especially difficult because we are not able to determine the detailed area of our research.
	
Using the regional (Poznan) branch of national card file for history of polish peasants I found a certain number of contracts of “holland" peasants. We should have in mind that the names of settlers are   perhaps not always mentioned. After reading some polish books and articles (Rusinski's book about holland settlement in Poznan province and Ciesielska article about hollands in west Prussia and Kujawy= area of Bydgoszcz, Inowroclaw and Wloclawek along Wisla river).  I know that this kind of source is the most important in this research. Information taken from these contracts could provide some clues for future investigation. Even if contracts mention the names of Peasants information has not genealogical character. The card file for the land records in Poznan archive consists of many parts. The first concerns the creation of new villages, part 46 is “Holland settlement". Unfortunately last parts of card file are often not determined or are very small. Most parts of material are situated in the division nr 1. Card file is ranged: 
1. According tribunals, it means according to territory, but material from Poznan tribunal can concern all of Great Poland. 
2. Each part for a specified tribunal is divided in parts according to items such as: creation of new villages, testaments, inventories of houses, animals etc., description of farms and many others.  I found information here concerning contracts.

Part V ‑ Regional branch of card 

File for history polish peasants. 

This card file is the unique way that could let us conduct research in these very rich files of documents of the authorities of the town Torun.  All villages were settled by "hollands".  Different documents (inventories, list of peasants, quarrels, lists of incomes, plans etc. are dispersed in the documents of the most extensive file of our archive – "Documents of the town Torun". Card file consist of specified categories of sources for e.g. descriptions of villages, contracts, sales, etc. This card file gives only subject, name of villages and allows locating documents in specified files. 

PART II ‑ Registers of superintendent office of Torun.

It's quite an extensive file (209 volumes), but most documents come from 19 and 20 Centuries. Some time ago new documents were found. The file known for a long time has contained documents after 1793. The collection added lately documents to 1785. The area of action of this office was not only Torun but also Bydgoszcz area. . 

Volumes 193‑201 contain church visitations, school documents and lists of confirmations. The last kind of information should be especially useful. 

I mention the volumes with the oldest documents, especially from 18 century. Perhaps some useful information could be situated in other volumes from the first half of 19 Century.

Part V - Regional branch of card file for history of Polish Peasants.

This card file is the unique way which could let us making research in very rich files of documents of the authorities of the town of Torun.  All villages were settled by “Hollands”.   Different documents (inventories, list of Peasants, quarrels, lists of incomes, plans etc. are dispersed in the documents of the most extensive file of our archive – “Documents of the town Torun”.   Card files consist of specified categories of sources e.g., descriptions of villages, contracts, sales, etc.   This card file gives only subject, name of village and lets locating document be specified.
Part III - registers of Villages from former Torun District

This file contains documents of communities of villages from Torun neighborhood like Nieszawka and Czerniewice (villages were Michael Drefs lived and Elisabeth Medin found by me in Torun Protestant registers in 1756,1758,1760, 1762, 1769 and Jacob Drews son of Martin and Anna Mueller, born in Kaszew on 1784, lived in Nieszawka, married on 1822 with Ewa Thiel; other Jacob Drews lived in Nieszawka, born 1770, died 1805;Martin Drews lived in Nieszawka, married with Anna Liberin – in this area many Drews appeared. Two, Jacob and Martin Drewes in Nieszawka in 1704-1706. It seems that this area should be verified.

Registers of communities of villages (all were Holland/German) contains privileges of kings, owners of villages (Polish landlords), contracts concluded by landlords and “Holland” settlers, documents of local Peasant tribunals (each commune had usually his own tribunal and officers elected by Peasants), different transactions etc.

I mention the villages and dates.   Most of them are situated in western border of Vistula. All were “Holland” villages. 

2. Plans of villages with names of farmers

Only the plans where there are situated the names of Peasants.  Perhaps rest of plans would be useful too.

56 Domaenenrentamt Marienwerder (number is the official number of collection in this archive)

128 Grundbuch des Koenigl. Domainen Rentamtes Marienwerder 1779-1842

should be useful, contains mainly documents from 18 or early 19 century: contracts, privileges mentioned peasans names, PT - not very much, each PT mentions only one person of peasan, signatures of Peasants (usually +++) very extensive volume, some 1000 pages (there are no numbers), actually there are at least 2 old volumes of Grunbuch which were put together by archive workers 

129 Grunbuch der Intendantur Marienwerder 1812-27
Many typed formulars which are completed by handwritten names of Peasants - owners of farms, data concerning farm, most formulars come from 1827, there are some earlier documents, but not many  about 1300 volumes of Dismembrationen und Besitzveranderungen, ranged alphabetically according to villages names, but almost all volumes concern 19 century from about 1820-30 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

57 Domaenenrentamt Mewe
Like in the previous file the most extensive section concerns <<Dismembrationen>> (modification of field borders), it contains some 250 volumes. In this section material is ranged alphabetically according to villages names, most of volumes start by about 1830/1840. Fortunately there are some units from 18 century. Inventory for this section mentions not only village name, but also first and last name of owner of farm.

99 Domainengrundbuch 

 I have orederd it, because it seemed to contain some older infromation. This unit consists of copies of documents from 17-18 centuries - contracts, privileges etc. Names of Peasants mentioned in different documents.	

138 Die Besitzveranderungen in Dorfe Bielawken 1779-1853

Bilaski as a place of  Jacob Drews birth. I have ordered it, this unit contains different letters of Prussian officers and documents of contracts, estimation of incomes from this village.

Next document for this unit contains name of one Peasant:
139 Dismembrationen und Besitzveranderungen in dem Dofre Bielawken Johann August Grolp 1852-1871

---------------------------------------------
I have also studied very important collection:

10 Regierung Marienwerder

Section Getraenkezwangs-Aufhebung concerns the specific Peasant group: inn-keepers. Most units start about 1820, but there are also some earlier.
volumes:
10/6789 [10 = Regierung Marienwerder file; 6789 - number of volume] and next 

The most important should be the section concerning ownership of land. It consists of two divisions:

dzia sprawy wasnoci gruntów b. obszerny, ale , te powiat Zotów  wikszo z  lat 20 i póniej ale take wczeniejsze dla powiatów:

1. Changes of ownership for districts:

Zlotow
Grudziadz
Chojnice
Chelmno
Lubawa
Kwidzyn

Torun
Tuchola

2. Hypothekenwesen for districts:
Wabrzezno
Zlotow
Grudziadz
Chojnice
Chelmno
Lubawa
Kwidzyn
Czluchow
Swiecie
Brodnica
Torun

I have found some interesting examples for the first division:

6857 Die Austuung des Guts Hohenkirch. Amt Strasburg 1775-1804
I have ordered this volume for checking what exactly does it contain. It is quite large book, some 300-400 pages. It contains many privileges, some authorities orders, estimating of tax and one PT from 1794 which is very well written and contains 10 names, there are also documents which give the income from this land estate. It seems that each volume should contains at least one PT [?]

Hypothekenwesen:
This section contains volumes titled usually Hypothekenscheine fuer das Dorf ... This section is divided in Kreises and in each Kreis volumes are arranged alphabetically according village names. 
Sometimes information is added that volumes contain also >>Besitzdokumente<<. However this section contains documents from 19th century after 1820. Perhaps they could contains also some copies of earlier documents? Quite big part of volumes has not got any information concerning dates.
in this collection [10] there is also a section MUEHLENWESEN. The titles does not show if there are some lists of people

 8 KRIEGS UND DOMAENENKAMMER MARIENWERDER 1772-1808

8/937
I have ordered this volume as one which has very interesting title hoping it contains names of people, unfortunately it contains names of villages and it is an index for some not existing file [?]

nr 2025 Baeuerliche Erbesveraenderungen im Amte Berent 1773/1807;
Contains letters of Prussian officers, but also some notes concerning ownership of peasans, it seems that there are infromation concerning death of owners and the fact of Besitznahme of new farmer [???]

3118 Nachweisunegen von dem aus dem Marienburgschen Kontributionskkreise aufzubringenden Remissionsquanto 1776
very nice, but not very extensive volume containing the estimation from PT. Only names of villages and statistic data are given here

---------------------------------------

It seems that file 8  (KRIEGS UND DOMAENENKAMMER MARIENWERDER 1772-1808) is perhaps not as important as that of file 10 (Regierung Marienwerder). The last one is very extensive (4 very large volume of inventories).  Searching in these inventories take much time beacuse all questions are ranged according to the subject, not chronology. So I must view hundres titles of volumes from late 19th and 20 century for finding something from before 1815. Perhaps other section could also contains data from early 19th and 18th century?

Wenn es stimmt, dass im zweiten Weltkrieg keine Grodbuecher verloren gingen, dann Zumindest vom Netzekreis (Posen/Pommern) sind einige Akten veroeffentlicht worden. Z.B wurde das Filehner Inventar, eine Auflistung aller Haushalte mit dem Namen des jeweiligen Mannes fuer alle Orte der Herrschaft Filehne bei einer Erbstreitigkeit von 1654 in den Deutsch Kroner Grodbuechern aufgelistet. Dies ist in Schulz, Werner: Alte Einwohnerlisten und Inventare
der Grenzmark, Schneidemuehl 1938, veroeffentlicht. Als einzige zusammenhaengende Veroeffentlichung der Grodbuecher ist mir nur das zweibaendige Werk von Lekszycki, J. von: Die aeltesten Grodbuecher, Leipzig 1887, in der Reihe: Publicationen aus den K.
Preussischen Staatsarchiven, 
Band 31 und 32, bekannt:  erster Band: 
Posen 1386‑1399 
zweiter Band: Peisern 1390‑1400,  
Gnesen 1390‑1399, 
Kosten 1391‑1400.

Im zweiten Band findet sich eine ausfuehrliche, 14‑seitige  Beschreibung der Grodbuecher. Die beiden Baende wurden 1965 in  Osnabrueck nochmals veroeffentlicht. (Trans.: In second volume one can find an extensive 14- page description of the Grodbuecher.   Both volumes were published in 1965 in Osnabrueck, Germany)
