[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Village lists from western Volhynia (was Surname Translation)

[Paul Rakow]

  Hello Eveline,

      Thanks for telling us about this site!

      This looks like a very interesting list of farmers and others
  in Polish Volhynia around 1939. Most names are Polish, because
  of course most people living there were Polish, but I have just had
  a look at a village (Berestowiec) where I know there were a lot of
  German families, they are listed too,

      For an example page from a mostly German village, look at
  http://wolyn.ovh.org/opisy/berestowiec-03.html

     Wykaz Gospodarstw is a list of about 150 farmers, 80 or 90%
  have German surnames. I haven't yet found what the original
  source is - can anyone figure it out? Possibly an address
  book from the pre-war years?

        I'm now going to try some more villages.

           Have fun everybody,

               Paul Rakow
