Question about German migration to and from Posen Province

Does anyone know of a URL or book reference that will tell me about the
German migration to (and from) the Posen Province area? I'm completely
ignorant of when the Ziegenhagen's (Kreis Schubin) may have migrated to this
area or where they migrated from.

These two books describe the German migrations into Posen and Mittelpoland:

Kossman's book is more focused on Mittelpolen (Congress Poland), but does
mention some German settlement of Posen. Rogall's book has much more on
Posen and has some very good historical and dialect/language distribution
maps of the regions.
