[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Polish parishes

[Gary Warner]

Nelson,

This group is too smart.   If anyone makes a misstatement, someone will 
catch it.  

Yes, of course, what was the western part of Volhynia was part of 
eastern Poland between the two World Wars.   I am invoking additional 
corrections, but I believe that may be why we have the more complete 
records for western Volhynia than we do for eastern Volhynia.
