[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] DAI, was EWZ

Sat Nov 14 16:10:46 PST 2009

Dave,

I would be interested in the Deutsches Ausland Institut documents at the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz records you mentioned below. I have ancestors from Koblenz, and will be making a trip to Poland and Germany in 2010. Can you provide more information as to where they are available? Only in Germany? or are they available through the FHCs?

Regards,
Maureen Murray Webb

I have seen Deutsches Ausland Institut documents at the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz, 
nd I have checked the DAI microfilm held by the Family History Library in Salt 
ake City, and I have copies of the four DAI microfilms from Library and 
rchives Canada.
You say that DAI documents from eastern Volhynia are online. What is the URL?
Thanks

> Hello Karl,

 in addition to your information about EWZ: there is some more 
 and often more 
 detailed information available by other documents of the DAI.
 This archival fonds (DAI) is partly online available for 
 Bessarabia, 
 Eastern-Volynia, Russia (Odessa !)
 but NOT for western/central Volynia !
 The "Stammblätter" = ancestral files of the EWZ mostly contain 
 only the next 
 generation, marriages or children.
 So called "sippenkundliche Fragebögen" = genealogical 
 Questionnaire are 
 really more detailed (see :Koblenz extractions from Bessarabia)
 Same information is available for Volynia, Eastern Poland, Narew-
 area, 
 Baltic area, Galicia, and others.
 This documents are NOT online available !
 Contents is often: grandparents or gr-grandparents, origin, 
 emigrated 
 siblings worldwide ...

 I'm searching in this documents since January and have only seen 
 parts of 
 the fonds.

 Dave's website on EWZ does a great job describing what these 
 records and 
 where you can find them. There are several places online that 
 has different 
 sets of data from EWZ.

 1) The Odessa Digital Library has almost the entire EWZ50 
 collection 
 included in their database. Since you are an SGGEE member you 
 can look at my 
 article in the September 2008 issue to see how to use that 
 database search 
 tool effectively.

 2) Galiziengermandescdants has a database of around 40,000-
 50,000 names 
 taken from EWZ. Those names come from many different places so 
 it is hard to 
 predict who might be in there. They probably center chiefly on 
 Galicia but 
 many other names elsewhere are found.

 3) The SGGEE MPD right now has around 12,000 names from the 
 Lublin region in 
 it. Those would show up with the source as SGGEE008r4. Sometime 
 in the 
 future this will be increased to around 25,000 names. So if you 
 are 
 interested in the Lublin region you are in luck and should 
 probably be 
 talking with me.

 As a newbie to genealogy, I'd noted "EWZ" mentioned a few times,
 but kept thinking it was EZA (the Berlin documents center).. but
 curiosity got me searching for EWZ and I'm overwhelmed with
 too many 'hits' via google.

 I did see that Mennonites have taken their subset of names, and there
 is a US center where research and microfilms are available.
 But I thought I saw someone mention finding online data in EWZ?
 Am I misunderstanding what I can find in EWZ online? Is any of their
 records online?

 I see plenty of this in EWZ. If you want a good source of imaginary
 locations you only have to look in EWZ.
