[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Migrations of people--Germans to Wohlynia

[marlo]

John Marsh,
Would you be able to help us understand why my husbands maternal 
grandparents
moved from the area of Lubben Kreis Rummesburg in Pommern to Volhynia in
1871 and than left to come to US in 1888?
My mother-in-law was born in Volhynia and was only 6 years old when they 
emigrated and she only said they came to US because they would have been 
killed if they had stayed there in Volhynia
or Russia as she referred to the area?  I
don't know what profession her father was but they went directly to Berrien 
County MI
and became fruit farmers.
Any help?    Margaret
