[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] This appears to be the best answer; Was Re: Grossdorf in Russian Poland?

[Jerry Frank]

Thank you to everyone for their efforts on this question.  One other person 
sent me a private email suggesting that this MIGHT be the case and Edelgard 
has now confirmed it.

I had considered the possibility myself especially since I later discovered 
that this family still lived near Klein Orlin in the 1890s.  However, the 
only Wartheland map I have of the area (Hoefer), shows Grodziec as 
Groedschuetz.
