[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Celagr = Ziegenhagen?

[Jerry Frank]

Earl,

I can't find any possible translation link between the two surnames.

I'm not convinced that Celag or variant is a valid surname for the 
area.  There are only 2 people in the entire USA with that surname and 
they are of either Arabic or Serbian origin.  Is the writing quite clear?
