[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Susanna Janke

[Otto]

"Janke" is an echte (genuine) Frisian surname.  (little John or son of  
John)
Pronounced "Yahn-keh"
The "ke" suffix is Plattdeutsch (a diminutive),(flat-land German or  
Low German)
The J"a"n-ke vowel generates a variation of spellings.
It can be spelled "Janke, Jenke, Jahnke, Jehnke" and so on.
A Susanna Janke was the mother of my uncle, Albert Roll, who was  
married to my Dad's older sister Anna Schienke.

The migration was up the Vistula/Weichsel/Wisla river south, usually  
from the Gdansk/Danzig area or Pommern/Pomerania.
The migration was stimulated by the opening of new Prussian territories.

I would look to the Posen and Dobriner-land areas of Evangelische  
Augsburgische (Lutheran) settlements.
