[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] EWZ Files

[Richard Benert]

Frank,

You can also order specific films that contain the images you want from 
the National Archives. The problem is in finding out which film you 
want.  Help is available.  You can start with the two links below.  The 
first is in PDF by Karl Krueger, the second is Dave Obee's attempt to 
make sense of it all.

Good luck,

Dick Benert

There probably will be duplicate information for members of the same family group, each with his own application, official forms, identity cards, etc. The Odessa3 index to EWZ files shows the names of the parents and grandparents of actual applicants, so not all the names you see in the index are people who were still alive at the time.
