[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Name translations

[Rose Ingram]

Paul,

We are not really 'saving up for later'. Some reference to the KGB files has 
been made in SGGEE  E-Newsletters and Journals in the past.  The extraction 
is about 60% finished.   In time this information will be posted on the 
SGGEE website with the appropriate fanfare.

In checking the data received to date from our transscriber I do see a 
Heinrich Karlovich Grinke (written in cyrillic) executed in January 1938. 
He was born in 1893 and his wife was Lydia.
