[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Looking for Hanke origins

[Bill Fife]

Hi Craig,

I have a number of Flatt (Flath) names in my Galician database but no
Siegfried.  Any idea of a time period or location in Galicia?

During the last week my index of Germans in Galicia, in the members only are
of the SGGEE website, was updated and now contains the inhabitants of 128
villages in Galicia.  You may want to have a look at it if you have any
other ancestors from Galicia. Let me know if you need more info on any names
you find which match your people.

Bill

> Hello,

> My great grandfather Eduard Hanke came from Russian Poland. He arrived in
New York in 1890 and then emigrated to Canada in 1892. I have found him on
the passenger lists for both leaving Hamburg and arriving at NY. I thought I
would actually find his hometown name on these lists. Unfortunately listed
as his "place of hailing" on both lists is Gufermint, Poland.
"Gufermint??"... I'm thinking he misunderstood the question the nametaker
was asking and answered instead a question like "why are you leaving?". He
answers "I'm leaving because of the government". Could that be the case or
was there actually a village named Gufermint somewhere in Russian Poland? I
know a cousin of his may have been from the Lodtz area. Any help would be
appreciated.
