In your example of your grandfather you've raised a question that has 
been in my mind for some time now.
It involves the use of the terms, "parish" "powiat" and "gubernia" How 
do these terms compare to the birth information below.

My grandfather was born in USA, Illinois, Cook County, Chicago and I 
even know the street address.

His father's birth information from the SGGEE databases

Surname       Given Name     Birth Day and Month Birth Year     Event

Lachmann     Samuel             23 Sep             1865 
                        Roschischtsche

            113             Bereske

 From what I can gather from all sources that I've found so far Samuel 
Lachmann was born in Roschischtsche, Volhynia (Helenow, Wolynskie, 
Poland).

As near as I can figure it comparing my great grandfather to my 
grandfather it would be as follows:

Poland, Volhynia (Wolynskie), Helenow, Roschischtsche(Rozysche

The remark Bereske also puzzles me. Is it a place name? Which name 
would be the powiat. I haven't seen that term before. Volhynia is the 
gubernia and Roschischtsche the parish I think :-\ .
