[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] RINAS

[Earl.Schultz]

Leslie, if you have exhausted all other records and need to take a shot in
the dark, you may want to look in the Thorn films.  Thorn was a major centre
with 5 Lutheran/Ev. churches in the area and in the time period you are
looking at there were a lot of Rinas/Rienas in this area back to the 1700s
and earlier.  You may have to look at up to 5 films but the chances are high
that your family passed through this area.  The question is whether they
were still there in 1836 or further east, say in Lipno.

There are two Anna Rinas married to Zielkes in the SGGEE Pedigree Database
but the location is not given.  The Rinas in your time period seem to be in
the Thorn, Wloclawek and Gostynin areas.  Without any more clues you may
need to look in each parish to see what you can find.  Fortunately, some of
these parish records are being extracted although slowly.

Good luck to you...my Rienas dates from 1760.
