[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Schindel in Lublin and Volhynia etc., Was Re: Schindel/Schendel + Luszyca/Ljuschitza

[Jerry Frank]

As with many of our ancestors, yours created quite a migration trail 
through this part of Europe.

Starting with Rangetia and Luwinge - both appear to be too badly 
spelled to make sense of the real place names intended.

I think that Luszyca is clearly a good starting point for your 
research and Howard has provided some suggestions for what parishes 
to look in.  You may find some correctly spelled village names there 
that tie into the above two.

Nowograd-Wolhynsk is of course in Volhynia.  However, given the 
timing of the record (post 1885), getting much additional info there 
might be difficult.

Birth place shown as Lublin may be a good clue.  Our Lublin Team is 
currently working on indexing records from that Parish, not currently 
available through the LDS.  They may have some help available for you.
