[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Thank you for looking at the city on manifest

[gswilson19 at aol.com]

Thank you to everyone who took a look at the ship manifest and tried to help me decipher the city name.  Wueste Kehle looks like a good match to what most of us are seeing in the writing.  Weisskehle in Rawitsch,  Posen is also a good possibility because a lot of Radoys come up on the LDS pilot site when I do a search for the last name.  And Radoy is not a very common last name.  

Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I would lean towards Wueste Kehle because Schlesien (Silesia) is  listed as 
the province (next column over), and it is also near Trebnitz (the  home 
town of the next group above the Radoj family).
 
The first part of the name (Wueste) could very well be abbreviated.
 
Good luck!
 
    -Paul

Kartenmeister yields 2 possible results that fit your  interpretation of 
the spelling:

Wueste Kehle in Trebnitz, Silesia,  today known as Kalowice, Poland.

Weisskehle in Rawitsch,  Posen

There could of course be other  possibilities if the interpretation is 
incorrect.  You can do a  search for other starting letters by using a 
wild card in the  form   [ W*kehle ]
