Hello Mauricio,
In the 1890s and early 1900s a lot of people left Volhynia,
some to Canada or the USA, some to Brazil (I've seen a Volhynian
German call the 1890s the Brazil Years), and some back to Germany.
The Einbuergerungsakte and Rueckwandererausweis in this
article refer to paperwork for a family who lived in Volhynia,
were deported out to Siberia during WWI, and then moved to
Germany after the War, and became German citizens. If your
family settled in Germany and became German ciizens after
leaving Volhynia, then there should probably be some paperwork
like this for them somewhere in the German archives- if they
went straight to the New World, then this isn't for you.
My grandfather's family moved back to Germany just before
WWI, but I haven't been able to find much in the German archives
about their return to Germany - what I know about those times comes
mostly from family letters, not from official records.
