[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Germans in Khasakstan

[tomjess64 at comcast.net]

I'm very far from an expert, but from what I gather, the germans in the volhynian area were thought to be spies by the russians during WW1 and WW2. Many were deported to siberia, which also means kazakhistan. My grandfather was from kazakhistan and I'm having a lot of trouble finding out any info on him, even the surname sinkiewicz.

I didn't see a public response to this question. 

Germans in Kazahkstan came from many different places as it was one of 
the areas that they were forced to go to during the wars.  They could be 
Volhynian, Black Sea, Bessarabian or Volga Germans or even those from 
the Baltic States.
