[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Kochanow

[Jerry Frank]

The registration of virtually all German Lutherans from Kochanow switched 
to Rawa about 1828-29.  A few scattered ones continued to register at the 
Gluchow Catholic Church, I suppose out of convenience since it was closer.

Those records in Volhynia unfortunately are missing.  A few scattered ones 
may be contained in the church records of the non St. Pete films that are 
available.  I picked up a birth record of one of my Hemmingers in 1838 
(missing from St. Pete) but the birth of my great grandfather a couple of 
years later (assumed) remains missing.

Those records are currently being translated (a very difficult project due 
to poor quality copies and bad writing) but I am not sure of the status for 
making the data available.
