[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tidbits of Info

[Jeff Krebs]

All

One line of my family came to Canada from Galicia.  Through the records I've
received from Manfred Daum, the practice appeared to be quite common, at
least in my family.  In some cases, the same name appeared 3 times in a row
which really confused me.

Robert - 

I don't recall if I was told about it first or if I first encountered it in
my research.  I don't remember seeing the practice very much in the Volhynia
extractions I did but it was very common in the early Russian Poland records
I have researched and in the Wuerttemberg records I have encountered going
all the way back to c.1560.

It may be that the practice is most popular in certain regions.  I have
found numerous examples in my Schwabisch maternal line but none in my
paternal line of unknown origins.  I don't know if it was common practice in
Prussian regions.  Perhaps someone else can advise further about that.
