[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] How to find ancestors that stayed in Volhynia

[Paul Rakow]

   Hello Gail,

         What have you already tried? Where did you get the dates
  and places from? If you tell us a little more, it might make it
  easier for someone to make the right suggestions.

         I would expect that they lived in the same towns as their
  parents,  at least until they married. So, I would suggest looking
  in the church books for their marriages, and looking through
  the death records to see whether they died young.

        Have you found these villages on a map - do you know which
  parishes they belonged to (Lutheran or Catholic)? I'm having trouble
  identifying some of them on my maps. There were several Lutheran
  congregations in the general area, Sompolno, Babiak, Konin and Kolo
  might be worth looking at.

        There was a Lutheran congregation at a Wladyslawow between
  Turek and Konin, but I don't think it would be "Wladyslawow,
  Radziejow, Bydgoszcz" - are you sure your Wladyslawow was
  near  Radziejow?

        I'm a bit puzzled when you say that these people "stayed in
  Volhynia". All the places you name are a long way from Volhynia.
  When do you think this family was in Volhynia?
