[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Town histories

[Helen Gillespie]

I expect I've posted this before but there may have been updates.

Many histories of *Manitoba* towns and villages have been written over the
years and a number have been digitized courtesy of Canadian Heritage,
University of Manitoba Libraries, Manitoba Legislative Library, Manitoba
Historical Society , Manitoba Archives and Manitoba Library Consortium.  If
your ancestors lived in one of these many locations, you might find
something of interest.  i expect the hard copies are hard to borrow or buy.

on Canadian history, towns and provinces, also sponsored by Canadian
Heritage, and several universities.
