[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] EWZ

[Karl Krueger]

Hi Hannes,
Yes I familiar with some of these records. Someone from Germany emailed me few. The problem is they are only in Germany - Koblenz if I remember correctly,  so we in North America have no way to see them other than to go to Germany.

EWZ is found in Berlin, the National Archives in Maryland, and many of the EWZ films can be ordered from the Family History Centers. They are much more accessible so people will use them more.

Hello Karl,

in addition to your information about EWZ: there is some more and often more detailed information available by other documents of the DAI.
This archival fonds (DAI) is partly online available for Bessarabia, Eastern-Volynia, Russia (Odessa !)
but NOT for western/central Volynia !
The "Stammblätter" = ancestral files of the EWZ mostly contain only the next generation, marriages or children.
So called "sippenkundliche Fragebögen" = genealogical Questionnaire are really more detailed (see :Koblenz extractions from Bessarabia)
Same information is available for Volynia, Eastern Poland, Narew-area, Baltic area, Galicia, and others.
This documents are NOT online available !
Contents is often: grandparents or gr-grandparents, origin, emigrated siblings worldwide ...

I'm searching in this documents since January and have only seen parts of the fonds.

Dave's website on EWZ does a great job describing what these records and where you can find them. There are several places online that has different sets of data from EWZ.

1) The Odessa Digital Library has almost the entire EWZ50 collection included in their database. Since you are an SGGEE member you can look at my article in the September 2008 issue to see how to use that database search tool effectively.

2) Galiziengermandescdants has a database of around 40,000-50,000 names taken from EWZ. Those names come from many different places so it is hard to predict who might be in there. They probably center chiefly on Galicia but many other names elsewhere are found.

3) The SGGEE MPD right now has around 12,000 names from the Lublin region in it. Those would show up with the source as SGGEE008r4. Sometime in the future this will be increased to around 25,000 names. So if you are interested in the Lublin region you are in luck and should probably be talking with me.

As a newbie to genealogy, I'd noted "EWZ" mentioned a few times,
but kept thinking it was EZA (the Berlin documents center).. but
curiosity got me searching for EWZ and I'm overwhelmed with
too many 'hits' via google.

I did see that Mennonites have taken their subset of names, and there
is a US center where research and microfilms are available.
But I thought I saw someone mention finding online data in EWZ?
Am I misunderstanding what I can find in EWZ online? Is any of their
records online?

I see plenty of this in EWZ. If you want a good source of imaginary
locations you only have to look in EWZ.
