[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polish parishes

[Nelson Itterman]

Thank you Gunther for that brief history lesson. 
It was after that that my GrGrGrandfather Jakob Ittermann came from Oest
Preussen to Volhynia. My GrGrandfather Christian was born in Rudinka
Volhynia on the 27th of February 1832. He married Luise Berwoldt (Baerwald)
on 15 December 1847 in Kolonie Chotinka, Volhynia and my Grandfather Peter
was born on 10 March 1848 in the Kolonie Wulka, Rovno, Volhynia, which was
then in Polish Volhynia.
Christian's marriage certificate did not tell who his mother was. It did say
that Luise's father was Martin.

Nelson,
after the first partition of Poland in 1772 - the only one in the lifetime
of Frederick II. - Volhynia still belonged to Poland, i.e. the
Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth which in fact was a protectorate of the
Russian Empire and object of its armed extortions. The second partition of
1793 divided Volhynia a bit east of Równe into a Polish and a Russian
section. The Prussian king at that time was Frederick William II., a nephew
of Frederick II.
