[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] question re Lutsk land appropriations list

[George Shoning]

Craig

I cannot add anything to your statement, "I also found something labelled as "Uzowieck", which looks to me very much
like it could be an alternate spelling for "Osovez", in the right area --".  Nevertheless, I found a brief description of a community named "Uzowa" or "Uschowa" in the Lutsk area.  This is from Ulrich Mertens "Handbuch Russland-Deutsche (Mit Ortsverzeichnis Ehemaliger Siedlungsgebiete)" (my translation): "Uzowa, a Lutheran community, located at d5 of the Stumpp Map, west of Rozyszcze, consisting of a maximum of 25 German Farms (1927; German Population 20-50%)."  Mertens also mentions Stawki but provides no data about it other than its location.

Bit of an update...looked at a different map and located Stawki, almost
exactly where I should probably have expected it to be.

I also found something labelled as "Uzowieck", which looks to me very much
like it could be an alternate spelling for "Osovez", in the right area --
but it appears to be a geographical feature rather than a farming village,
so I'm not entirely sure I've solved that riddle yet. No Gorschki or
Krasnobyrki yet either, but George's *Die deutschen Kolonien in
Wohlynien*reference does tie all three place names into the correct
region.

Just to clarify, because I've already had a couple of responses directing
me toward Goroschki in Zhitomir: it's the *Lutsk* land appropriation lists
that I'm looking at, so even if the place names aren't actually pointing at
my relatives they still have to be somewhere in the Lutsk region. Places in
Zhitomir wouldn't even be in this file in the first place.
