[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] 1840 Poznan area to 1860 Volhynia: Stopping Places

[Jeff Krebs]

Everyone,

Well, I might as well jump onto the band wagon.  My great grandfather Johann
Wagner and his wife Julia (nee Röder) are rumored to have come from Poland
to Annette in Volhynia.  This information I learned during a discussion with
one of the grand daughters.  In 1909 they came to the Bruderheim, Alberta
area.  I haven't been able to trace them back past Annette and have only
recently begun to explore where they traveled from.  I do know there are
Röder relatives today in Germany but haven't been able to gain any new
information from them.

Does anyone have any records (or direction where I could get some) of the
Polish communities that I might be able to analyze and see if there are
connections?

Thank you and good luck in your search.

Bill,

I, too, have looked at Kossmann's book and poured over the maps trying to 
figure out which parish records to examine from about 1835-1860. My families

mostly remained in Russian Poland in the Lublin area from 1862 until the 
Umsiedlung in 1940, although some emigrated east to Volhynia (a recent
discovery) and 
others settled in Canada and the U.S. in the early 20th century. I have 
information that puts them in the area bounded by Warsaw, Piotrkow and Radom
during 
these years. My problem is that the town that is given for the decade around

1850 is Julianow for two strains of Domres who both end up in Stefanow near 
Lublin. According to Kossmann there is a Julianow just south of Warsaw, one
just 
southwest of Rawa, and I've found another near Zwolen east of Radom!  One 
Domres family says their Julianow was in the Rawa area. My information says
it was 
"Kreis Ilzecki" which no one had heard of until the Polish Genealogical 
Society's map from 1905 pointed me toward Ilza; that area bore the name
Ilzecki for 
a short time; this is the Julianow closest to Zwolen in the Radom area. I've

dabbled in LDS parish microfilms but there are few Evangelical records from 
this area, and none I have examined specifically mentioned any Julianow.
It's 
quite maddening that the same village names occur all over Poland!

The LDS church scanned records from Lublin and other towns around Poland in 
2004, but they are not yet available.
