[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] post WWI immigration; Yeske, Jeske, Geske

[Nancy Gertner]

And some that immigrated to North America now use the name GESKE.

There were several JESKE that were listed in marriage records of  
Schokken Lutheran Parish in Posen Province in 1820s:  Johann (3),  
Ludwig, Daniel.

Posen to Volhynia was a typical migration pattern around the 1830s  
and perhaps later.
