Hello Keith,

Thank you for that.
I had a little look on it and it seems like a good source.
Matches a bit the history of my friend who his ancestors have applied to get
the German citizenship again after leaving Volhynia, and I think something
like that might happened with my ancestors as well.

I'll try to have a better look on this document and I'll tel you know.

I have found some other good sources of emigration records, but all in
Germany.

1568851 - Russland
1568875 - Amerika Uruguay
1568603  - Posen to Württemberg

Kind regards

Mauricio
