[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynia Villages

[Rose Ingram]

Thanks John.  This makes sense.

I was also looking at some other notes I just found - the birth place on 
this scrap of paper for Edward Lips is given as Novagarde, Wolinien which 
would probably be 'Nowograd Wolynsk'.  I wonder if 'Bularka' is some place 
close.

And yes we found Edward Lips' 1925 death in Manitoba will be ordering the 
death record.
