[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Fwd: NYTimes: Whatever Happened to GermanAmerica?

[Carol Duff]

 I am eager to hear your analysis Richard. I have just spent two weeks reading old civil registry books. I always minimize the amount I will find. I have done this for 3 years now and am not at the end yet. I keep finding more and more family, except for the one that I really want…my grandmother and great grandfather from Jagolitz. It seems those books all disappeared with the war. Carol

Ouch...that's a bit too rich for me.  I was, however, able to obtain a copy of 'Wolhynisches Tagebuch" at a very reasonable price from a seller in Germany. I eagerly await its delivery. Thank you so much Helen for sharing with me your copy of that title at the recent SGGEE convention in Ottawa. All the best to you and your dear mother; I think she alone was worth the trip I made there from New Hampshire!
