> My great grandmother was Helena Boese. b.1862. I have no clue as to
> where or who her parents were. She married Andreas Janz sometime before
> 1886. They had eight children: Elizabeth, Sara, Suzanna, Abram, Henry,
> Helena, Maria, Cornelius. At some point they moved to Podolsk in the Neu
> Samara colony. Helena came to Canada in 1926 with her son Cornelius
> Janz. She died in 1936 and is buried in Dalmany Sask.
>
> Andreas Janz is another brick wall. I know he was born abt. 1860 and
> died in 1920 at Podolsk, Neu Samara. Again, I have no idea where he was
> born or who his parents were. Family lore says 'He came from Poland'.
>
> My search for information has lead me to the Volhynia to find further
> information on these two surnames.
