[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German citizenship

[rrohn@mts.net]

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the description of the political climate and events that
existed when our ancestors left for America. I am sure these laws and their
effects played a large part in their decisions. We can study history, dates
and events, however an analysis such as yours pulls it all together and
provides a good understanding of the results we see.

My grandparents have been gone for some time and I did not have the
opportunity to get this information from them when I was younger.



Keep up the good work.



Regards

Richard Rohn
