[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Where is this place?

[Sigrid Pohl Perry]

Linda,

A strategy you might use along with Karl's suggestion is to search in 
the SGGEE MPD database or in the Lublin Project database for members of 
your family or extended family. Look especially for marriages. Many of 
these records can tell you where other family members were born, married 
or died and that will give you a region in which to search for your 
elusive village.

Good luck.

If their memory is close then Shtetl Seeker is the best tool to use as long as you use the Daitch-Mokotoff soundex. Don't use their default Soundex search engine - I find it worthless, especially in cases like this where you won't have a very close match.

Now you have a different problem. There are too many hits. I hope you know more about the family's history to try to narrow down which of those possibilities seem likely.
