[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polish parishes

[Nelson Itterman]

Hello Gary:
I do not want to confuse the issue, but was Volhynia not divided into a
Polish Volhynia and a Russian Volhynia? Or am I mixed up too? Seems to me
that the Tzar and Fredrick from Prussia divided Poland between themselves.

Robin,

The St. Petersburg villages are in Volhynia, not Poland, so a separate
gazetteer will have to be developed for that area as well, and is in
process.

Volhynia is a confusing area to do research, no matter how long you have
been researching it.
