[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Malowana

[Jack Leigh]

I have lurked on this list for quite a long time now and am continually
impressed.  I belong to many lists and I think that this one has the most
helpful and knowledgeable people.  My own family are from England and
Scotland, and I am often confused about research related to my wife's
SCHINDELs from Germany, Poland, and Volhynia.

Younger family members have asked me to share my knowledge of the history
of my wife's SCHINDELs.  As I write it down for them, I find that some
things I thought I knew aren't so clear as I thought.  So here's my first
questions.

The first emigrant to Canada of my wife's SCHINDEL family was her great
uncle Jacob (age 22) who left Hamburg aboard the "Hamburg" on January 22,
1892.  He travelled from Hamburg to Hull to Liverpool to Halifax to
Winnipeg, and I have all the relevant ships passenger lists (Hamburg,
Liverpool, Halifax).

The Hamburg passenger list says Jacob and his travelling companions (Johan
BAKER, Josef and Franz GOLINGER, Heinrich RING, Georg BABER) were from
"Malowana Russl."

My questions:  Would "Malowana" as shown on the Hamburg passenger list be
the same place as "Wola Malowana?"

               How might they have travelled from Malowana to Hamburg?

Over the next many years, Jacob was followed by a great many other
SCHINDELs, many of whom settled near Melville SK starting about 1903.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
