Hello Eduardo,
Some of my relatives moved from Volhynia to Bessarabia (modern-day Moldova) and also Kurland (modern-day Latvia), which were both, at the time part of the Russian Empire.

Hello, 



During the time I have searched I heard and read that many German families 
left Volhynia to other places in Europe (including Germany) before coming to 
the Americas. 

The Kommers family apparently lived in Zhitomir area up to the middle of 
1870's, as the last birth record I have found, linked to Volhynia, is from 
1876. However, there are two Kommers born between 1876 and 1885 and one more 
in 1895, according to some other documents I have in my hands. They are not 
clear about the exact birthplace, just showing it was in Russia. 



It makes me think the Kommers family may left the Volhynia area in the end 
of 1870's to another Russian territory. 

My question is: what are the main places in Russia where a possible German 
"re-immigration" happened?   



I'll appreciate any comments. 



Thank you! 

Eduardo
