> Another option is to look at the Canadian 1940 National Registration  if your Wilhelm Endler was still alive then and living in Canada.  Information about this can be found on http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/022/022-911.007-e.html

The birth place may be written more clearly on the questionaire as it would have been completed by Wilhelm himself or someone in his family.   When completing your request letter, I would suggest just noting Poland as place of birth.

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.
