[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] LOCATIONS NEEDED

[Jerry Frank]

Guenther is correct about these locations.  However, Justin responded to me 
privately indicating that he thought these places would be in Russian 
Poland.  The Kartenmeister site is excellent but it only covers Prussian 
regions, not Russian Poland.

As for Eichdorf and Veronika, I can only find them in Prussia.  Since 
Kartenmeister requires exact spellings, you may have to search for 
Weronika, or use wildcards to find it.

Leschin / Leszczyn is only found in Prussia but there is a Leszczyny and 
Leszcze in Russian Poland where Germans are recorded as living so you may 
need extra documentation to prove which it was.

Lipowiec is a somewhat common place name throughout Poland and there are at 
least 2 in Russian Poland where Germans lived.

So as Guenther suggests, you may need to concentrate on Prussia but keep an 
open mind about the other possibilities as well and try to find some 
additional info that will help to connect these places to a larger region 
or parish so that you can identify them with greater certainty.
