[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] The New Rozyszcze Death Records

[Rose Ingram]

Hi Nelson:

Sorry to say I cannot answer this question, I have to admit I have no 
research interest in Volhynia.   I'm sure others on this list may be able to 
give us some information.

> Surname are in parenthesis in German script. The dates need to be 
> translated
>
> from Russian and also the other names in the record (this can be tricky).
> But after 1893, the records seem to be presented twice for each year; that
> is, there are two versions of the annual records. In these post 1893
> records, it seems there are several hundred Rozyszcze records in one set
