[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Locating records

[Earl.Schultz]

Herschuel, I can't help you specifically but the Fenske name is common in
the Plock area.  I am familiar with the name in the Michalki-Rypin parish
and also in the Lutheran Churches around Torun (Thorn).  One of my earliest
ancestors was a Fenske from Thorn in the late 1600s and that may be where
your family also originated from.  However, between WWI and the 1600s is a
lot of research and I think you'd have to get Augusta's parents' names to be
able to research the databases that are available.  Good luck.

I need some advise and direction.  My wife's aunt was removed to Russia from
Poland prior to WW I.  She returned after the war and reclaimed the family
property.  Her husband had immigrated to the US prior to the war.

Her name was Augusta (Konn) Fenske, b 5 Jun 1879 m Ed Fenske.  Children at
the time of her removal were Ed Fenske, b 7 Aug 1910 and twin girls born
about 1912.  Family story is that the twin girls died while in exile.

Where could I start looking for records.
