[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] WINTERs and HAUSCH families of Zhitomir prior to 1904

[George Shoning]

Katherine,
 
One comment on your family's lore regarding the bolsheviks taking Peter Winter away.  The bolsheviks did not take control in Russia until their revolution of October 1917.  I believe it actually was not until the 1930s that the majority of Volhynian Germans disappeared due to bolshevik (communist) action.
