[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German Bureau of Aryan Records

My uncle, Otto Stebner, was born in Volhynia between 1893 and 1896  
somewhere near Zhytomir.  The family, consisting of my mother, her parents,  her 
sister and 5 brothers, left Volhynia in about 1908 and went to  Bismarkwald 
near Gross Wartenberg.  All emigrated to the US in 1914  except for Otto.  
Otto fought in the German army in WW1 against the  Russians, including the 
battle of Tannenberg.  In 1938, he was the  proprietor of a soft goods store in 
Koslin, Pomerania known as "August Stebner  & Co."  August Stebner must have 
been a relative. Otto wrote his  brother in Chicago asking him if he knew 
the names and birth places of their  grandparents as this information was 
being requested by the German Bureau of  Aryan records.  His brother did not 
know but Otto must have found the  information somehow.  Does anyone know if 
this information can be  accessed?
 
I am really searching for the birth place of my grandfather, Heinrich  
Stebner, and the names and birth places of his parents. Also, the  birth place 
of my grandmother, Julianna Schmuland, and her parents, Gottfried  Schmuland 
and Justine Pischle.  These families were German Lutheran.
