[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German Bureau of Aryan Records

[Nelson Itterman]

Hello Don & Paul: 
If you go to the Odessa site you will find: Daughter Emelie born 02 1872 in
Grunthal to Gottfriel Schmuland and Justine Pischle - also Heinrich
Stebner's marriage to Julianne Schnneland - 25 Jan 1882. I think that should
probably be Schmuland. 
In addition to the St. Petersburg files you could look at the War Records.

   Don,

       This sounds like the "Aryan Pass", a document which most
  Germans filled out during the Nazi period, listing their ancestors.
  Unfortunately, the government didn't keep copies, the only way of
  getting hold of this document is if a member of the German Stebner
  family held on to it.

       Volhynia Germans who had been in Germany since 1908 wouldn't
  have EWZ files - those were only for people who came to Germany during
  the War years. But it might still be worth looking for Stebners,
  Schmulands and Pischles in the EWZ films, because there might have
  been more distant relatives of yours who only came to Germany
  in the early 40s.

       Do you know the web-site
  http://pommerndatenbank.de

       They have transcribed a lot of address books from Pomerania,
  there are two Stebners listed in Koeslin in 1937,
     August Stebner and Otto Stebner.

   Stebner & Co,
   Manufactured goods and clothing,
   the home of good quality
   and cheap prices

      I think it would be fun to get a copy of their advert from
  the 1937 Koeslin city address book.
