Significant numbers of immigrants moved to Poland from 1770–1850. Most of these came from Germany, but others came from the Netherlands, France, and even Scotland.

A very useful site showing a settlement maps in eastern Poland of people coming in from other areas can be found at this [http://www.sggee.org/deutsch/research_ger/SGGEEMaps_ger.html link]. | |||
These maps may also be helpful in doing area searches for people settling in Poland. | |||
