Tracing property deeds in Prussia (modern-day Poland)
The community here was very helpful in translating some of the minor details of my ancestor's German civil records from the 1880's. Among these minor details were home addresses in Wschowa and Friedheim, Prussia. Since I am hitting some brick walls, naturally, I want to research the deed history of the addresses I found.
While this is easy to do in many places in USA, Is this a viable genealogy research technique in Poland when researching German ancestry?

I check on the Polish state archives website (szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl) and while they do have land records for Wschowa they are not available online. I'm not sure if an archivist would be willing to conduct a search in land records but you could try contacting them.

I also just found this website that might be useful - . It looks like it's from a number of sources and locations but it could be worth a shot.

Thank you for the feedback, and I will add those to my toolbelt, but it seems that in general it's not a practical or proven technique. If anyone in the community ever has any success with this, please tag me though!
