[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Matalat

[DrVbuzz at aol.com]

Virginia Matalat is the grandmother of a friend of mine.  The family  oral 
history has her as German and being born in Volhynia. The other side  of the 
family is Norwegian. Her son was born in 1896, an exact birth  year is not 
available for her, hence the possible birth years in the listed in  the thread.  It 
is a fishing expedition, however, wanted to toss it out in  case someone 
happened to know the name.  The family grew up Lutheran, so I  think it is safe to 
assume the same for the Volhynian religious affiiliation.

Victor:

Can you give us more info about this person such as why you  expect to 
find her in Volhynia?  Was she Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist,  
or???  From what I can gather with GOOGLE, the Matalat surname may be  
of Finnish origin.
