[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] EWZ Files

[Karl Krueger]

Frank,Just so you know how to interpret what Dana has told you, Odessa only has the Soviet Russian records. You will not find people coming from other locations. So while Odessa is very extensive, it only covers a segment, maybe one-fourth, of all the records found in EWZ. Poland and Polish Volhynia found in EWZ52 covers about another 1/4th of EWZ just so you perceive the magnitude of these files.

 Odessa3.org has a collection called War Records, which includes searchable index of EWZ files.  The names include the EWZ applicants, and the names of applicants' parents and grandparents from the forms.  Birth year and birthplace are usually shown in the index.  

I need to type each possible spelling (and misspelling) of family names on Odessa3, with different results for each one.  But there may be an advanced search with "wildcard" characters that I don't know about.  

Most people refer to EWZ-50 files, but there are also EWZ-56 and EWZ-57 files (medical exams, evaluation of ethnic characteristics, handwritten family information), and EWZ-58 is Stammblätter (short typed document of family tree to grandparents, and photograph).  

Best,
