[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynian Germans in Brazil

[Jeff Krebs]

Omar

Please contact me directly to compare our Krebs families.

I've traced my Krebs branch originating from Waldmichaelbach, Hessen (circa
1755) to Josefsberg, Galicia and finally Josephburg, Alberta, Canada in the
late 1800's.  The family was large.  Did some go back to Germany, or
possibly other countries such as Brazil, Argentina, or Australia?  

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mauricio ... my families too (Welke, Pufahl, Krebs) all immigrated to the
South Brazil area in the 1920s so I feel a connection to my
Volhynian-German-Brazilian bretheren :) ... Mnay Welkes still live in Brazil
today ... I have close to 60 cousins most of whom I've never met. My father
had 17 brothers and sisters ... hence the high number of cousins. 
I have a Noremberg family from Alberta, Canada who actually providedme with
a Krebs family bible that greatly helped my research ... are you connected
to these Norembergs?

Hi,

Well, I have a good research about Volhynians on Brazil. I'm very curious
about this stuff. I have a extensive documentation about my grandparents who
migrated in 1908 to South Brazil.

I can translate the Portuguese documentation I have, it's about the first
Volhynian parish in Ijui village.

And I can do a translation for you if you need.

Please let me know about this stuff.

Best Regards,

Mauricio Norenberg
