<span>My Mydzk (Krs.Kostopol) family were deported to Siberia and ended up in Omsk. They returned in 1922 to the same village only to find everything destroyed so they rebuilt the village again and lived there until 1939 when they were resettled in Warthegau. The village was again burned to the ground in the early 40's and nothing exists of it today except in the memory of some of the oldtimers in the Ukrainian village of Mydzk.</span><br>

I have a note in an archive (by Bernhart Forbau) that<br />my grandparents escaped to Germany through the Middle East. I cannot find<br />any historical data to support this.<br /><br /><br /><br />My relatives would include the Schrot, Betke, Brenner and perhaps Forbau who<br />were living near Mitzk, Volhynia in the early part of 1900. My father and<br />uncle were born in Germany<br /><br />In 1917 and 1920 in the Pasewalk area. My father remembers being in the<br />Greifswald forest.<br /><br /><br /><br />Any help would be much appreciated.
