[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Connection found in Westlock, AB Canada

[Paul Rakow]

  Hello,

      If you are on ancestry.com you can see 3 family trees
 with Reinhold in them - they show he has some living family.
 You could try contacting the tree owners. One at least gives
 a quite detailed entry about Reinhold, so it's likely to
 be from a close relation.

     None of the trees know who Reinhold's parents were.
