[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] how many of us were there?

[Mike McHenry]

I've noticed that in 19th century and earlier birth rate for a woman of
child bearing age seems to be about 18 to 24 months. I've also read that
somewhere. In the upper Vistula parishes I've look at the number of births
which seemed to be about 300/year.  It would seem to me that should be
possible to calculate the rough population from that. Given that there were
no plagues or wars. Also you could make some inferences about migrations. A
static declining suggests migration away. A growing birth rate indicates
migration to. Do we have an expert in demographics among us?

Does anybody know how many Germans lived in Volhynia
during the 1700's?  

And by WWII -- how many German's lived in that region? 
What was the percentage of German's in the Rowno area?
