[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] France to Volhynia immigration

[Helen Gillespie]

To the list,

For North and South Americans, the complicated history of Europe  is
multi-layered and so confusing.  Wars and civil upheavals abound and are so
connected to each other - hard to unravel all the events.

Not sure how much info Family Search.org has but there is some background
and records:

<https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/France_Emigration_and_Immigration#Russia>
European countries were noted for registering folk who moved about.....they
had to register at an Amt when they left and register when they arrived!
Now to find the right Amt!

Some basic history of the area....which might be of interest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Emigration

Hope some of this helps.....

Hello dear friends,

Has someone already heard about German-speaking people escaping from France
to Volhynia after some war in the XIX century?

Best regards,
