[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] common immigration area in South America?

[Mauricio Norenberg]

Hi Gerald, Gail and all

As far as my ancestors are concerned, a numerous migration happened in a
colony called Guarani das Missoes.
There's a book with all the incoming immigrants and there are many from
Volhyina and Poland.
Many ethnic Polish and Russians came as well.

Let me know what else information you have we could take a lead.

I also have lost Henschke who story tells went to Canada or USA after not
liking SA.
Gottlieb Henschke married to Emilie née Norenberg
Emilie is my grandfather's sister.

Mauricio
