[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Looking for Shiva, Poland

[Gary Warner]

Most of the Endler names we have in the MPD are from the Chelm area of 
Poland.

Rather than concentrating on a place name which is likely corrupted, 
please give us more data on names and relationships.   For instance, who 
were Wilhelm Engler's parents or siblings?

I cannot find any good match in Ukraine regions (western Volhynia was part of Poland in 1927 so I thought I would check there).  In Poland there is only one reasonable possible match - Zywa Woda which is located in the far northeast corner of Poland, a short distance north of Suwalki.
