[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] looking for village or town Olynszak

[joepessarra]

Hello,

my grandparents were under those people who had been banished from the
district around Warszawa to central russia. There one uncle was born in
april 1916 at Krasny Kut /Saratow. In one dokument I found the location of
born for the next uncle at OLYNSZAK in october 1918. This village/town I
cann´t find.

My father told me, that his mother told him, that they were in Sibiria and
that they came back after first world war traveling from village to village
as they earned the money for further journey. So this village could be
anywhere between Siberia and Polen.

I would be thankfull for any help

You might take a look at Shetlseeker at
http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp 

Doing a search for the town of Olynszak finds some that are similarly
spelled, but not exactly the same.

If you do a search for Saratow (Saratov), and use its coordinates to look up
the correct Krasny Kut (there are 6 of them!), then use those coordinates to
look for Olynszak nearby, you don't find anything very close at all.  The
correct Krasny Kut is only 57.5 miles SE of Saratow.

Could it be Olenyakh?  It is in Russian Siberia.  You can use Shetlseeker to
locate the town.

What sort of paperwork do you have for the spelling of Olynszak?

Not much help.
