[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynia church records

[Howard Krushel]

Miles:
The SGGEE library will be getting photo-copies of these records; we do have
substantial portion of these but not all of them, as yet. The births and
marriages cover the parish of Zhitomir with the births running back to about
1920. The confirmations cover villages located all over eastern Volhynia;
there were no death records. Your area of interest was in Western Volhynia
was it not?
