[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Need help with county of birth on a naturalization

[Marcia Ritke-Momose]

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your response. My sister and I both are leaning strongly toward that as well.

I know nothing about the Schlesien Germans who went to Volhynia, so I have some reading to do.
I wonder if there are other SGGEE members who have family from Schlesien?

Kind regards,
Marcia
