[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] land ownership in Volhynia

[Gilbert A Stelter]

I have been wondering about the difficulties my ancestors had in owning land in Volhynia in the late 19th century. Michael Hamm's book, Kiev, 1800-1917, says that 90% of land was owned by Polish nobles in 1861. Is there any study which deals with this question? CAn one find out who the landlords were of specific families?
