The groom, Lesser Michels, gives his place of birth as Shabin or possibly Shobin, Posen. The ShtetlSeeker pulled up 101 possibilities (using soundex) a few of which I tried googling to see if they were in Posen. Lesser (md 1870) died in 1882 (in Georgia) and I have not found anything to indicate immigration year. Any guesses as to the most likely town based on a clerk's spelling of what he heard?
Carolyn,
Town name is Szubin (German: Schubin). It is indeed located in Poznan (Posen) region at 5301 1745, 75 km NE >from Poznan. There was a small Jewish community in this town - WOWW quotes 77 prewar Jewish residents.
