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

[Paul Rakow]

   Hello Again Gail,

        Knowing where the information came from is a big help.

        From looking at the Master Pedigree file I see that
  Johann August Krueger's two marriages were both in Sompolno
  (it's one of the parishes I suggested before - but now we know
  for sure you'll find something there).

      Since he married in Sompolno in 1854 and again in 1861 it
  would make sense to look at the Sompolno microfilms from that
  period, to see the marriage records for yourself (they are very
  informative).

      It looks like the children were probably also registered
  in Sompolno - the database says they were born in Wladyslawowo
  near Wierzbinek, which looks close enough to be part of Sompolno
  parish. In the database the source is "SGGEE001r10 - many parishes
  in Poland". Probably someone at the SGGEE can tell you for sure
  in which parish the births were recorded (probably Sompolno).

     [Forget about the Wladyslawow near Turek that I mentioned
  before - that now seems like the wrong place to look.]

           Hope this helps,

               Paul Rakow
