[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tschichanowitz/Ciechanowiec

[Marcia Ritke-Momose]

Hi Vera,

Thank you for responding. I will keep any eye out for those surnames.
I did some reading at your blog online. Lots of good ideas and helpful information there!
Thanks for the link.

If I find anything concerning your family, I’ll let you know.

Marcia
