[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Goll / Gall / Gohl and maybe even Gaul

[DAVID B OBEE]

I tried to reach this woman a year or so ago but never heard back from her. I suspect that she ties in with a Goll family that is connected to my mother's family through marriage.  (The name was spelled Goll in North America.) The path from the Zhitomir oblast to the Kiev oblast that she mentions matches the one taken by my Goll relatives.

I will try to contact her again.
