[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] A seminar in Poland?

[Otto]

A few comments that may be of assistance to individuals in grasping  
what is involved in any proposed trip.
-Time of year is a significant factor-

Warsaw- A well chosen locus, a central point. Two countries would be  
involved considering areas already mentioned previously.
A few North locations are Russia, almost all locations are Poland, a  
few South locations are Russia.

Some thoughts for consideration...
They are basic broad categories that will need personal refinement to  
suit a group venture.
If traveling by car, allow yourself an hour for every 40 miles traveled.
(there are many details that Mike, or I, or other members, can give  
answer to as aids to visualization)

The four main factors of concern with any location are the following:
1. Someone in the group fluent in the local language (necessary)
2. Someone in the group willing to assume responsibility of group leader
(coordinator of arrangements)(preplanning of sites and archives to be  
visited)
3. Transportation (personal car rental or Polish driver and car)
4. Lodging (rooming at parishes can be inexpensive)
