[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tidbits of Info

[Bill Fife]

I have done a fair bit of research in Galicia and also found the practice of 
naming a child with the same name as a previous deceased child to be quite 
common there.  Although this happens from time to time it cannot be taken as 
a usual practice.

There is an interesting article on German naming practices in the March 2003 
SGGEE Journal.
