[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynia 19-teens and voluntary movement

[E.Adam]

Hello: Having read now of the forced resettlement in 1915, I wonder if anyone else has
knowledge/experience with Volhynian Germans voluntarily leaving?

My great-grandfather, as the story goes, was among a group of Germans in Volhynia who purchased
land in Russia proper and founded a couple German villages around 1910. They moved near Bryansk
and Zhisdra; he and several others (including a Repsch) founded a village called
Chromolin/Chromily that continued to exist at least until 1941; the German army stumbled across
the villages there and were surprised to find Germans, whom they sent west. Coincidentally back
into the area they came from in Ukraine/Volhynia. That was near Shitomir and Annette.

He was David Adam; I believe he left at least nephews and nieces (children of brother Johann Adam)
in Volhynia when he took his family and left for Russia. David was already in his 50s.

Thanks!
