[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Wolf& Schlag or Schlack families

[Jerry Frank]

Just to clarify, Zhitomir was never part of Prussia.  It was in Volhynia, 
Russia, now Ukraine.  I cannot find the place names you list in modern 
Germany so I suspect they may have been in East or West Prussia.  Many 
Germans migrated to those German provinces from Volhynia during and after WW I.

Since these people or descendants may still be in Germany, you might want 
to try also posting this message on the bulletin board at 
http://www.wolhynien.de      That website is in Germany and probably is 
seen by more German residents.

You could also try writing to some of the families with those surnames in 
Germany.  You can get addresses from the online telephone book which only 
lists 5 Geswein and 40 Rahtz in all of Germany.   The address 
is:  http://www.teleauskunft.de/  and click the link in the upper left 
corner for the English version.
