[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] New information - need help

[Shann Culo]

Thanks Roger!  I would be happy to pursue that route but the Grooms side was 
my great-great grandmother and I think we know what became of most of them - 
the family was very close.  It is just my great-great grandfather that 
remains a mystery.

I appreciate the help!
