[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Dubno area information

[Jerry Frank]

Actually, the western half of Volhynia with Dubno in it was part of Poland 
between 1921 and WW II so both documents are correct based on the time 
frame in which they were created.

Using ShtetlSeeker at http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm I 
can find quite a few Zelenaya in Ukraine but none in the area of 
Volhynia.  I also considered our list of known German settlements in 
Volhynia and could not find anything close in spelling.

One possibility, though significantly different in spelling, is the village 
of Silanowica located about 32 km due west of Dubno.

If you post other family details that you might have (names, birth dates, 
etc.) we may be able to help further.

The best source of info online is the SGGEE website and its publications 
which you have already found because you subscribed to this mailing 
list.  However, it is often generalized for all of Volhynia and Russian 
Poland rather than specific to Dubno.  It is still the best source though 
for records and data.
