'South Prussia' (German: ''Südpreußen'', ) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1793 to 1806. It was created after the second partition of Poland and included the regions of Greater Poland and Masovia. The capital city of the province was Warsaw but it was administered by the General-Direktorium in Berlin. In 1806 it had 1,503,508 inhabitants.
German colonists invited to settle on the province's noble estates were known as ''Hauländer'',
German colonists invited to settle on the province's royal crownlands were known as '' Kolonisten''.
Following the conquest of the Napoleonic armies and a Polish rebellion in 1806, it became part of the Duchy of Warsaw, a French client state. After the Congress of Vienna, in 1815 it was divided between the Prussian Grand Duchy of Posen and Congress Poland as a part of the Russian Empire.
The Prussian General-Direktorium records dealing with the history and genealogy of the Prussian part of Poland were taken from the Prussian archives by Napoleon Bonaparte soon after 1806 and transferred to Warsaw. This transfer had the effect that they slumbered there up to this day and have not been used as often as their importance merits. Crews from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Genealogical Division, have not filmed these records as of yet. Genealogical research on late 18th and very early 19th century Prussian lands must be conducted in Warsaw itself. The new Guide to the holdings of the Archiwum Glowne Akt Dawnych in Warsaw (AGAD,1992) is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. This is apparently the first attempt to give a very brief listing of the Prussian holdings and hopefully will initiate a wider interest among researchers to compile a more detailed inventory:
★ General Ober Finanz-Kriegs-und-Domänen Direktorium
(briefly known as General-Direktorium)
Departement Südpreussen, 1793/1795 - 1807 (AGAD, zesp.169)
Abt.I : Universalia , Nr.4 - 1908; 1698 vols.
Abt.II: Hauptverordnungen - Royal Decrees (in Berlin)
Abt.III: Dept. Kalisch, Nr.1 - 244; 241 vols.
Abt. IV: Dept. Posen, Nr.1-273; 268 vols.
Abt. V: Dept. Warschau, Nr.1-168; 168 vols.
Abt.VI: Ortschaften - locality matters, Nr.13 - 3890; 2375 vols.
Abt.VII: Ämter, Nr. 2-1973; 1342 vols.
In 1806 the Province of South Prussia had three districts (departments):
These districts ("Departement der Kriegs- und Domainen-Kammer zu ---") included these counties ("Kreise"):-
