All,
My wife's 2nd great grandmother, Dorothea __?__ was married to Michael
Strefling when she died 
in Volhynia. The Volhynia 1860's Death file has an entry for her like this:

Last, First Name                             D/M   Year Place
Parents/Spouse
Strefling, Dorothea                         26 Jun 1867 Shitomir
husband Michael

Film/It   Pge  Reg Remarks
1884090/2 536   62 born Schmidt  44 yr

Looking at other entries in the file, the "born Schmidt" would mean that she
was born in a
place named "Schmidt" in 1823. So where would that be? There is no place by
that name in the 
Volhynia Gazetteer - does anyone have any idea where it might be referring
to?

Also, the place of death: most of the places seem to refer to a parish name
and yet there are
other places seem to refer to actual places???

Thanks!
Dave Proper
