[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Pastor Rudolf Kerstens

[Jerry Frank]

Gerhard:

I believe that Rosthern would be the correct location.  I am trying 
to contact the Lutheran Church archive for that region to see if we 
can get more information.  The Lutheran Church in Rosthern was 
founded in 1911.

I will get back to you or perhaps they will write directly to you.
