[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Ceckin Germany

Good extra information, Guenther.

I would suggest starting with the Tuchel option rather than Konin.  The marriage record stipulates that the person was born in Germany, and Konin was not in Germany.  The record could, of course, be wrong but it seems that Tuchel should be the starting point.
