[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] (Ger-Poland-Volhynia) Novograd-Volynskiy

[Richard Benert]

Janice,

I would recommend that you purchase, from AHSGR, the Stumpp map (#3) of
German Settlements in Ukrainian Volhynia.  On it, you will find a major town
called Zwiahel or Swehl, which were German names for Novograd-Volynsky, the
central town of its district.  About 35 km due south of there you'll find
Baranowka, and about 10 km southeast of Baranowka you'll find Gl|ckstal
(Bubny).
