[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Schmidt location?

[spaghettitree at aol.com]

I think the "born Schmidt" indicates that Dorothea Strefling was born as  
Dorothea Schmidt, her maiden name, in this context.   
 
Tried to send this 2 hours ago, but the storms apparently prevented access  
- AOL never tells you why.

Dave,
The truth is in the actual church records. They can be  viewed online 
through the Pilot Project of  familysearch.org

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/#start

Click  on "Browse our record collection", then click on Europe on the 
map, then  on "Russia Lutheran Church Book Duplicates", then scroll down 
to Volyn  --> Zhitomir --> Shitomir: Shitomir --> 1867: Births, 
marriages,  deaths (828-14/151) --> View 48 Images --> Image 38 of 48

There  you'll find the following:

gestorben (died): 1867, 26 Juny, 2 Uhr  morgens (a.m.)

begraben (buried): 28 Juny nachmittags (in the  afternoon)

Dorothea Strefling, geb. (born) Schmidt, Ehefrau des  Kolonisten (spouse 
of colonist) Michael Strefling

aus Polen (born  in Poland)

44 Jahre (44 years old)

Todesursache: Wassersucht  (cause of death: dropsy)

beerdigt auf dem luth. Kirchhofe zu  Friedensdorf von Kirchenschullehrer 
Heinrich Behrend (burial in the  Lutheran Cemetery of Friedensdorf by 
Heinrich Behrend, schoolteacher [of  the church])
