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

[Karl Krueger]

Dear Brigitte,
No one seems to have replied to this request so I thought I would add a little. The Germans often referred to Siberia loosely but during WW I most Germans were deported to places starting near Samara and Saratov and could be as far as Troitsk, Chelyabinsk, Kustanai (Qostanay), and even as far as Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

If your family was more west in 1917-18 like around Saratov then it is more likley they returned to Poland in 1918. If they were further east like the other places I mention then they may have returned until 1921-22. 

Unfortunately I can't find Olynszak for you but maybe you will have a better idea what possibilities you need to look into with this added background. Aside from Olynszak is there another larger city they use in reference to this location (do terms like Kustanai, Turgaiski, Orenburg sound familiar with your family history)?

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

Brigitte from Belgium
