[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: Redlich family

[Paul Rakow]

  Hello Lorne,

     I think Goberna is just a phonetic spelling of the Russian
 word Gubernia, which means province, so your "Volinski Goberna"
 isn't the name of a town - it just means the "Province of Volhynia".

    Gubernia is related to the word "Gubernatorial" that Americans
 use when they refer to the Governors of their States.

          Yours,
             Paul Rakow
