[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Surname HARTFIEL, places LEDACHOW, SEEFELD (ZIFELD), TURIN

[Jerry Frank]

Hi Sandra.  Welcome to the list.

First I would like to point out that it appears that you got your data from 
the St. Pete extractions.  There can be significant errors and we recommend 
that you get copies of the originals from microfilms so that you can get 
more accurate spellings.  You will especially want to do this for the 
mother's surname to determine if it should be Dalch, Daleg, or something 
different.

Ledachow is almost certainly Leduchow, located about 20 km east of the city 
of Wladimir Wolynsk.  Since the village of Tumin is less than 2 km away, I 
would suggest that Tumin is the correct spelling for Turin.

Go to http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/soviet_maps.html

Click on Ukraine, then Luck, then #38.

Go down to horizontal line #38 and across to vertical line #32 where you 
will see TyMNH (where the N is backwards).  That is Tumin.

Leduchow is not on the map but was located where you see the row of houses 
between Tumin and the #214.3 on the trail to the east.

To date, a precise location for Seefeld / Zifeld remains unknown.  Based on 
data gleaned from a number of sources, it apparently is located near 
Bronislowowka, somewhere to the southeast of it.

On the same map above, swing over to the other side to intersection of 
vertical #54 and horizontal #52.  That is the approximate general area 
where Seefeld was located.
