[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] August Meyers (Maier) Przedecz

[Richard Stein]

Hi Elvin,
I can't help you with August Meyer in Volhynia, but there is the following 
couple in the SGGEE pedigree database:
August Emil Ferdinand Meyer / Henriette Wilhelmine Schulz, married 12 Apr 
1860 in Zgierz, Poland.
Several generations of ancestors are also in the database.
Hope this helps.
