[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Location/information re PETROULD RUSSIA

[Jerry Frank]

According to ShtetlSeeker, there are at least 5 Petrovichi and 
Petrovitsy in Russia which would match the Petrowitz pronunciation.  
There are 3 in Ukraine including one designated as Petrovets / Petrouts 
which might fit the Petrould spelling interpretation.  If your Rempels 
are Mennonite, you would probably be looking at one of these regions 
given the Russia designation below rather than Prussia.
