[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Frederick Kriese history.

[Richard Stein]

Carol,

The Volhynia, Kiev, and Podolia database at
http://www.sggee.org/research/PublicDatabases
lists the marriage of August Kriese and Louise Schmidtke and the birth of 
four children with various spellings of Kriese.  I will send you privately 
the listings.  Note that the data goes only to the end of 1885.  Later 
records may be available in the Zhitomir archive.  Other members may be able 
to provide more information about the archive holdings.
