[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] anyone heard of Lacnoknok in Volhynia?

[Jerry Frank]

Cynthia,

There is no place which I can find in Volhynia that comes even 
vaguely close to your spelling or pronunciation.  Best bet would be 
to follow Rose's advice in searching the passenger ship list to see 
if you can find a better spelling for the place.
