[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] dialects

[Verna Hutchinson]

Hello List:

 

I've been fortunate  through the kindness of genealogists,in Europe & Canada
to further my ancestry 

back another 4 generations. I started out with only  paternal Grandparents
arriving in Canada 1907 from Lutzk Volhynia

My maternal Grandparents arrived here in 1913 from Bessarabia.

I am now trying to find out where the ancestors immigrated from,before
arriving in Volhynia & Bessarabia .

The Bessarabian Grandparents spoke either low German. or Swabish.

The Volhynian Grandparents spoke a German closer to what the minister
spoke,which I thought to be high German

 

Would knowing the right dialect help in finding the area that the families
originated from?

 Thank you  Verna
