[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Neuman ship record

[Jerry Frank]

I would prefer to have another Z word to compare the script to but 
since we don't have it, I will agree with it for 3 reasons:

- the G doesn't make sense
- the first character is only similar, not identical, to that used 
for the word German
- a possible place name that fits Denyse has been found in the region
