[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] From Germany straight to Volhynia

[Jerry Frank]

The referenced book is an excellent resource for Volga and Black Sea 
German research.  However, it does not contain a lot of help for 
Volhynia in spite of the fact that Stumpp was in charge of German forces 
in Volhynia during WW II.

There are no migration records of people that went to Volhynia that I am 
aware of EXCEPT that, sometimes, local church books in Wuerttemberg and 
other places showed the names of people leaving their parish and where 
they were going to.  These were not always accurate nor complete.  For 
example, a record in the Nagold church book says my ancestor was going 
to West Prussia when in fact they went to South Prussia.

There is a series of 6 books containing Wuerttemberg Emigration 
records.  You should be able to GOOGLE the term and find details.  They 
are not specific to Volhynia of course and, as with the church books, 
they are not complete.

Many of the people from Wuerttemberg, Pomerania, and other locations 
stopped for a generation or two in Russian Poland before moving on to 
Volhynia.
