[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Note to Galician Researchers...

[Chris Menke]

Hello All,
   
  If you are interested in researching Galician ancestors, but hesitated joining this web site because of the focus on Volhynia and Rus-German-Poland, hesitate no more. In the last few days I have turned my attention to my great-grandmother's side of the family (Wilhelmine Menke nee SCHAPPERT), and have a copy of her birth certificate with her parent's names, and their parent's names and villages. 
  With that information I went to the SGGEE database under RESEARCH tab, #8. GALICIA - INDEX OF INHABITANTS, and there are literally THOUSANDS of names in there with villages, birth, marriage, and death records. I found exact people I am looking for as well as dozens (hundreds?) of probable relatives. 
  Bottom line - even if your primary interest is Galicia, just that database is worth membership.
