It is the Grand Duchy of Posen,  Wielkie Księstwo Poznańskie. Instead of Ks 
it often has been written with X in the records.

> His birth place appears to be  Xeistwa (with diacritics) Poznanski.
> I usually take this as meaning 'Parish of Poznan'.
>
> According to the Polish Word List, "Xiega" translates to 'book'.
> So Peter's birth should be in Poznan church records, or possbily in a 
> parish close to Poznan.
