[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Musziks (= Muschiks)

[OMAR WELKE]

I replied privately earlier to Carol ... I heard my grandfather Adolf Welke use this term mmmmany years ago when refering to the non-German inhabitants of Volhynia and never in a good light. So personally I grew up thinking this was some sort of derogatory term the German settlers used for their Russian neighbours ... kind of like white South Africans used Kafir to refer to any black African. My 2 cents worth ... I may be wrong.

Nelson,

Too late to ask in this life.  Virginia died in February of 2008.
