[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Places

[rlyster at telusplanet.net]

Thank You Jerry...the locations all make sense.  After I posted the question, 
I also asked my parents the Silno (a) question.  They said Silna is another 
smaller town in the vicinity of Luck as you have said.  They used some Polish 
descriptions like:  Gemena of Silna, Poviot of Luck, and described Gemena like 
a post office kind of description.  So I think depending on the record keeper, 
and the information being given by the person, these discrepancies exist.

It is a great help to have someone locate the place and then we see they are 
really one and the same!

Rita, Barrhead

p.s. Howard K. has consented to read my letter!
