[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Radomske Family

I was looking at a Forestburg Local History online at:

http://www.ourfutureourpast.ca/loc_hist/

and retrieved the pages for the Radomske Families

http://johnrauchert.brinkster.net/familyhistory/other/forestburg_radomske.pdf

What intrigued me the most was that I found a line on page 761 that said 
that Carl Fred Radomske settled in Fessenden, North Dakota (which I knew 
from the Ellis Island Manifest) and as a young man, worked for Rudolph 
Henke.

I believe that this Rudolph Henke was the Husband of my Great-Aunt (my 
Grandmother's Sister) Karoline.

So another thread in the family story is formed.

In 2002, Cal posted the following on this forum:

I have traced my family "Radomske" from Canada to USA to Ortakioi
[Horia] ,Dobrudscha,Romania to Sarata, Tarutino in  Bessarabia . It
seems that the spelling has many variations. It is believed that the
family origanally came from "Radom" or the area around Radom, to Baden
Germany, to Bessarabia and the to Romania leaving ther in 1902. Can
anyone out there shed more light on my family?  Thank you,   Calvin
Lloyd Radomske

The Ortakioi [Horia] , Dobrudscha, Romania location he refers to probably
comes from his research as a result of this reply he received on the
Rootsweb forum
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/TheShipsList/2002-10/1036107624 which
lists place of origin of Rumanian and Oltakio.

Also, as Jerry Frank's reply to you on the Poland Genealogy Forum
http://genforum.genealogy.com/poland/messages/42307.html states, we do have
some of the Forestburg Family in the SGGEE pedigree database.

In addition:

When the preson on Rootsweb replied to Cal the Manifest was unavailable but
it is now available.  I have retrieved it and it can be viewed and saved
from here:

http://johnrauchert.brinkster.net/familyhistory/other/radomskyellisisland.gif

I note that in addition to the Michael Radomsky that Cal was looking for it
also lists (starting on line 7):

Johann Radomsky Age 67
Wife Wilhelmine Age 54
Sons
August Age 16
Jakob Age 11

All originating out of Ortakioi, "Rumania"

Finally,

The Heimatbuch der Dobrudscha-Deutschen Surname Index
http://www.grhs.com/rig/bess/heimat_dob_bettcher.htm contains a number of
Radomski who came from Bessarabia to Dobrudscha.

Radomske               (see Radomski)

Radomski             pgs.  77, 334, 335, 361, 364, 373, 376, 379,

                       412, 414-417, 443, 463, 491, 492

Radomsky               (see Radomski)

One other resource which may be of interest I have found is this translated
work:

East German Fate by the Black Sea

 http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc/order/general/muller.html

>From the description it seems a pretty interesting history of the German
Settlements in the Dobrudscha Region.
