[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Rozyszcze Records Analysis

[Nancy Gertner]

What a great analytical job this group can do collectively when  
putting together the clues.

The significant change in the number of village inhabitants (80 in  
1825 to 34 in 1835) is interesting.  I will speculate it is more due  
to immigration than disease or famine.
