[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Trying to find Maser/Peitsch's Kol (colony) locations in Volhynia

[Miles Ertman]

The Bistritz that you mention is Bystriczy and can be found in the  
Ludwipol map:  http://www.mapywig.org/m/wig100k/ 
P45_S44_LUDWIPOL.jpg.  There were Masers living just south of  
Bystriczy at Kol. Janowka / Solomiak.  If you have a scan of your  
grandmother's handwritten note, perhaps someone could look at "Bras"  
to see if it could be something else.

Were your Masers Lutheran or Baptist?
