[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Henkel Family Research

[Helen Gillespie]

This may not be your family, but the Pier 21 in Halifax has stories
contributed by immigrants of all stripes. There is a Henkel family
contribution

Curiously, my aunt and uncle lived in Clifford for many years.  I must ask
Uncle Max if he knows Fred Henkel!
