[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Need help finding a Liske/Lieske birth record

[Gary Warner]

Maxine,

I assume that you are in contact with Kay (Schoenwald) Shariff who is a 
3rd cousin once removed to Heinrich Lieske?   She does not seem to have 
much different information than you do on the Lieske line, but it might 
be good to compare notes.
