Hi Paul.  Welcome to the list.  I am sure that you will find contacts with 
several people also researching your surnames.

Kurhany, Kreis Luck was only in Poland before the partitions at the end of 
the 18th century and between the two WW.  Before WW I, it was part of 
Volhynia, Russia.  Today it is northwestern Ukraine.  Kurhany is not near 
Lublin but the migration pattern certainly could have taken him through 
that part of Poland.

I could not find any Trotnowo in Volhynia.  There is Trutnowo in Poland, 
north of Warsaw and former East Prussia and also Trutnowy not far from 
Bydgoszc in former West Prussia.  One map shows Trutnowo as the spelling 
for both locations.
