German Immigrants to North America (From Volhynia)
For those interested in finding out more about their roots in the old country, I have started a Facebook group called:
"Wandering Volhynians (Germans in Volhynia 1800 & 1900's)"
My family on my mother's side (Rudolf Dohms clan, Fenwood, Saskatchewan) originally were east German families who for economic reasons immigrated to Eastern Europe to pursue farming.After numerous moves they found themselves in Volhynia and from there immigrated to Canada with the promise of a new life as Saskatchewan homesteaders.Quite a story!If you are interested in contributing to this website, type "Wandering Volhynians (Germans in Volhynia 1800 & 1900's)" in the FACEBOOK search bar, and lets see what stories and pictures, and treasures we will discover from our histories that will unfold there.
