[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Graenke surname

[Rose Ingram]

A while ago discovered in another birth record where the mother is a Graenke 
shown in previous birth records written in German, and now in Polish written 
records she is Wa~sewska.

This is odd.  I think the recorder made up Polish names.

Rose Ingram

From: "Jerry Frank"
