Do you have a document that indicates that Christina was born in 
Zhitomir?  The St. Pete records show some of her younger siblings born 
after 1875 but I don't see her recorded there.

Where is Dziepolc and what is the source of this place name?  It doesn't 
seem to fit anything I can find in Volhynia.
