[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Village of Denyse

[Ron Neuman]

I have found a Johann Neumann in the Ellis Island Passenger Lists, 
and he and his family are one of the many Neumann families that I am 
researching in the southeast Edmonton area starting as early as 1892.

Johann Neumann (and his family of Louise, Christian, Rosalie, 
Mathilde and Erdmann) arrived at Ellis Island on May 4, 1899 and the 
port of departure was Bremen.  The shipping company was the 
Norddeutscher Lloyd Co.  Nationality is given as Russian, and last 
residence is listed as "Denyse".  Their final destination in the USA 
is listed as Winnipeg ["yes, I know that Winnipeg is in Canada"], and 
they are going to join an acquaintance in Edmonton named Christof 
Lemke.  I have found both Johann Neumann and Christof Lemke in the 
1901 Census for Canada in the farm area southeast of Edmonton, so 
they both made it that far.

On Johann Neumann's death record (1922) from Alberta Vital 
Statistics, his place of birth is listed as "Poland".

I have been unable to find this village of "Denyse", and I would 
appreciate any suggestions.  I suspect strongly that it is in Poland, 
but I have not ruled out Volhynia as a possibility.
