[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] help with Behrend (Aberdeen, SK) now GALENEWSKI

[Laurelei Primeau]

Based on a clue and a nudge from another researcher, I have now found this...

GROOM'S LAST NAME: SCHNIDEL
GROOM'S GIVEN NAMES: EDWARD
BRIDE'S LAST NAME: GALENYEWSKI
BRIDE'S GIVEN NAMES: ELLEN	DATE OF MARRIAGE: 17/01/1907
PLACE OF MARRIAGE: WPG
REGISTRATION NUMBER: 1907,002827
REGISTRATION DATE:


Does anyone know anything about THIS couple? This might, maybe, possibly, be the mystery grandma...

Thanks!
Laurelei

I speak neither language, but I am aware that many German names became Polish names that had the same meaning, and perhaps that is the case here.   For instance, Schwarz became Czarnecki, both meaning black.
