[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Researching the FOERSTER family

[Bronwyn Klimach]

 Lloyd,
As well as these locations (which look badly spelt but might be identifiable
by someone able to find and view the ship manifest), have you looked at
Church books for where the extended family settled in USA?  These will often
give more information than appears on certificates issued.  Location is
all-important in tracing your family's records back in Europe.
Good luck,
Bronwyn.
