  Dave,

  I would be interested in the Deutsches Ausland Institut documents at the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz records you mentioned below. I have ancestors from Koblenz, and will be making a trip to Poland and Germany in 2010. Can you provide more information as to where they are available? Only in Germany? or are they available through the FHCs?

  Regards,
  Maureen Murray Webb

I have seen Deutsches Ausland Institut documents at the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz, 
and I have checked the DAI microfilm held by the Family History Library in Salt 
Lake City, and I have copies of the four DAI microfilms from Library and 
Archives Canada.

You say that DAI documents from eastern Volhynia are online. What is the URL?

Thanks

Dave Obee
