[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Emilie Richert, Lublin area

[Karl Krueger]

Hi Barbara,
  First I would like to offer a different opinion than Dick's although I give Dick high esteem. The area you talk about remained under German control until the Russians drove them out in 1945. In the nonaggression pact Stalin allowed ethnic Germans in Polish Volhynia to be taken by Germany and Polish Volhynia then become annexed to the Soviet Union. But where your family was is west of the Bug River and thus remained under German control. All Germans from this area were resettled to Warthegau as Hitler wanted to reclaim the western stretches of Poland for Germany and keep his German arien race protected. In fact Germans as far west as around Warsaw and Piotrkow were resettled.
   
  My parents lived near your family but I never heard them talk about the German army coming through destroying things. But they did mention there was a Polish military that had great animosity towards Germans at this time so it is possible the Polish military could have still offered resistance to the Germans and your family might have been caught in the middle of it.
   
  Now to go on to records. It sounds like you have already looked into EWZ. Our Team Lublin has not yet done that region of towns you talk about. Can you give me the Stammblatt number for your family as that corner is coming up on the "to do list".
   
  You also mention you looked into the Lublin parish records for Emilie's birth in 1874. How did you manage that? You would have had to be at the church in Lublin to do such.
   
  In the upcoming December SGGEE journal there will be an article I wrote on an indexing project for the Lublin archive. The LDS digitized the entire Lublin archive in 2004 and the article describes how SGGEE is working with the church to make an index of all records on their 71 DVD collection. Ultimately this index will be searchable online and people can order records directly from the church. Please email me in private for additional information.

  Hi Barbara,

Sorry, I can't help you with your question about where to find records -
possibly others can. However, it must have been the Russian army, rather
than the German army, that came through in September 1939. Chelm is in
Lublin province which was annexed by Russia in September 1939. This is
confirmed by the fact that your Treichel family was resettled to the part of
Poland annexed by Germany.
