[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: Listserv Coverage & Life in Volhynia

[GVLESS at aol.com]

I will respond to both subjects tonight.  For my comments on obtaining 
"stories" about Life in Volhynia, especially the subjects that relate to folklore, 
of course, I am interested in collecting that from our ancestors who once lived 
in Volhynia.  But most of them were there after they once lived in Poland.  
So I would think some of the family lore would include both areas in many ways. 
 I would certainly like to hear about those who have interest of the Germans 
in Poland as well as Volhynia.  But - I would like to have someone work with 
me in this project as well.  So if there is someone out there who has Poland as 
a major interest let me know and we then can see what can be accomplished in 
collecting some of the history of our GR people from these areas together
.  
As for the "words of frustration" correction on "donnervetter", yes I stand 
corrected.  But when given this information, please, please provide an English 
translation as well.
Thank you!    I think the above word means "thunder weather" or something 
like that so perhaps that is why I used the first part as such, not knowing the 
German term.
I do think it would be fun to have a collection of favorite sayings as well 
as words used by our ancestors.  It will be great to review them when I get 
them compiled and ready for some kind of distribution.  Every little tidbit about 
our ancestors can make our own family histories more interesting.  So - do 
respond.  And tell us then if they were more or less of Volhynian-German  
background or Polish-German.  
Thank you all for your interest.
