I need a bit of input from the list on my research but will try to keep as
simple as possible. So many records coming online I'm getting dizzy.

But I'm trying to focus in one thing at a time, for instance, understand
what my ancestors did between the late 1880's to the early 1900's.

What I know: they left Europe in 1908 towards Brazil. To simplify in the
case someone wants to help me:

The emigrants:
1887 - Johann Norenberg & Juliana Braun married in 1887, Sapust/Volhynia,
marriage found in Rozyszcze
children ordered by date of birth:
1888 Olga - Record found, place of birth Jannowitz
link to the actual record, number 1076:

1891 Henrich Reynold - no records found so far
1893 Ottilie - Rozyszcze, birth place Pulhanow (=Pulganow) near Polonka,
Luck link to record, no 799:

1895 Martha - Found on SGGEE database but not online records yet, records
on Wladimir-Wolynsk birthplace as Ludmilpol, it says father is a cantor.
1898 Karl - No records found yet
1901 Herbert - No records found yet
1902 Alfred  - No records found yet
1906 Paul - No records found yet
1908 - Bremen ship passenger list says family came from Olujka village

Geographicly speaking I can draw a timeline, so far:
1887- Sapust
1888 - Jannowitz
1893 - Pulganow
1895 - Ludmilpol
1908 - Olujka


The questions I have:

1. One of the records says Johann was a cantor. Is there a chance I'd
find parish cantor records of him somehow and where and maybe a litte bit
of history from him?
1.1 - Pictures, is there any site with Parish pictures from that era or was
this ultra-rare? I believe many list members from same area would have old
pictures with Parish members archived with names, rare but happens.

2. From Olga and Ottilie records, can you read anything other than basic
information that could help? Specialy the Cyrillic one. Unfortunately is
very difficult for me to read.

3. Where should I search for more records and data from these names? What
other sources would you recommend?

4. What I'd love to know is what happened on their later years in Volhynia
and track them down somehow. Any clues on how to achieve this will be much
appreciated.


Regards
Mauricio
