Hello Irene!
I forgot one more find: I also found Christian Appelt's death record. He died 16 February 1898 in Swiczewka, aged 72, born in Franzdorf. The index names Rosalie Münch as his wife. His youngest son Adolf was born on 13 August 1898, so Christian died while Rosalie was pregnant with him. I can send/link the record as well if useful.
Greetings,
Agga

Hello Irene!
You are just such a gem! I found Christian's and Christine's marriage record thanks to you and both son's that you said that were missing, Andreas and Johann, and I found one more, Franz born 1866. And also found Christian's and Rosalie's 5 children, Pauline born 1892 in Kislowka, Carl born 1893, Anna born 1895, Leon 1895 all born in Switschewka and Adolf born 1898 in Ruda. In Christian's and Christine's marriage record I have know gone another generation back thanks to you, so my search in Volhynia has left my with lots of family that I did think I'll find. I'm so, so grateful to you. If you ever find anything else, the records keep being digitalized, please let me know and I will also let you know if I'll find something.
greetings,
Agga

Hi Agga,

ich habe zufällig dein Posting im anderen Thread gesehen, wo du die Kinder von Christian APPEL und Christine SCHMIDT auflistest. Es fehlen noch Andreas *1869 und Johann *1872. Aus der zweiten Heirat mit Rosalie MÜNCH gehen noch mindestens fünf weitere Konder hervor.

Mit der Heirat APPEL & SCHMIDT hast du Glück. Franzdorf gehörte zum Kirchspiel Pilica, vom dem nur wenige Kirchenbücher erhalten sind.

PÖHL/PEHL (Antwort)

Hi Agga,

gefunden habe ich die Familie durch eine Suche in den bereits indexierten Büchern, wie den sonst?
Hier ist die Einstiegsseite:
https://geneszukacz.genealodzy.pl/

Es lässt sich nicht feststellen, wo die Familie PEHL/PÖHL zwischen 1867 und 1879 lebte, das Kirchspiel Nowy Dwor scheinen sie verlassen zu haben. Das sind immerhin 11 Jahre. In dieser Zeit mögen noch mehr Kinder geboren worden sein oder Kinder sind verstorben, genau wie Michaels erste Frau Eva. Seine Mutter, Eva geb. DREWS, blieb bei ihren anderen Kindern. Ich fand noch den Sohn Josef PEHL (Heirat 1876/19), der auch im Ort Podlesie lebte.

Gruß, Irene

Hi Irene!
I didn't know how to post to you directly, so I'm just replying to one of your previous posts.

You've been of so much help to me, and I can't even begin to thank you enough.

I have been doing a lot more research on Michael Pöhl and his family in Poland. You were the one who first gave me the information that Michael's first wife was Eva Mejert and that they had four children in Poland. I have now found the original birth records for all four children, confirming the information you gave me.

I have also found marriage records for Michael and three of his siblings — Henryk, Rosalia and Krystina Pöhl. These records confirm that their parents were Heinrich Pöhl and Anna Drewes and that they were born in Brzozówka. I also found Anna Pöhl née Drewes's death record from 1878 in Podlesie.This has made me wonder about something I have not been able to solve. Do you happen to know what happened to Eva Mejert and the four children? Eva was already dead when Michael, as a widower, married Marianna Appelt in Mariendorf in 1879. Their first child was born in Mariendorf in 1880, and their remaining five children were born in Wandy Wola.

Do you know when or where Eva died, and whether Michael's four children with Eva went with him to Volhynia or remained in Poland? I have even wondered whether Eva could have died during the family's journey to Volhynia, although that is only a theory.

I would also be very interested to know where you originally found the information about Eva Mejert and the four children, since everything you told me about them has now been confirmed by the records I have found.

And I have also been wanting to ask you more about the Appelt family. I have found some of the older discussions on the Volhynien forum concerning Appelts, including posts from you and Ansgar, and I have started finding records for Marianna Appelt's family as well.
Greetings, Agga

Du klickst auf "Scan", es offnet sich der Jahrgang 1862, dann auf der linken Seite auf "47-50". Der Eintrag befindet sich rechts oben im Buch. Mit dem Button "Powiększ" kannst du die Seite vergrößern.

Hi Irene!
Thank you so much! I found the four children in Geneteka, but I'm having trouble getting from the index to the actual scans. Every link I try seems to take me back to the main register page. Could you perhaps tell me how to open one of the linked birth records—for example Paulina Pehl, 1862, record 49? Once I understand how to open one, I should be able to find the others myself.
Greetings, Agga

Hi Agga,

deine Vorfahren PÖHL lebten im Kirchspiel Nowy Dwor, bevor sie nach Wolhynien eingewandert sind. Das konnte ich leicht feststellen, weil bereits viele polnische Kirchenbücher bzw. Zivilstndsbücher indexiert wurden.

Die Einträge sind jeweils verlinkt und auf Polnisch verfasst. Die Heiraten [Małżeństwa] des Kirchspiels Nowy Dwor wurden noch nicht indexiert, aber danach kannst du selber suchen. Am Ende des jeweiligen Buches findet sich oft ein Index [SkM]. Wenn du von 1862 rückwärts suchst, solltest du die Heirat PEHL & MEIER finden.

Hi again again !
I can't tell you you guys how thankful I am with your help, I thought I was at a dead end with my Volhynian ancestors and I have helped me so much. Are any of you perhaps related to me? Or are you just so much better at finding those records than me ? I also curious to know if you know when our families came to Volhynia and where from. Again, thank you so much for your help and if you have any more information I would be so happy if you could share it with me. Greeting from Iceland, Agga

Hi Irene!
I can't thank you enough, you have been of so much help. I have difficulty reading it but I see Michael Pöhl, 24, unmarried and Marianna Apel, 24. I think I can see the parents of Michael being Heinrich Pöhl and Anna née Drews and Marianna's parents as Christian Apel and Christine, can't read maiden name. I also can't read any birthdays, birth places or residence if they are in there. Maybe there is something more I'm missing. Since you have been of so much help I wonder if you can read it for me?

Thank you so much Irene, you have been so helpful. I found the marriage in 17. October 1879 in SGGEE but no link to a record and with no parents listed, so that is my next hunt. Do you have any idea of how I can find that record? Again, thank you, greetings, Agga

Hi again!
Could you also please tell me how you read the names of the godparents at Mathilde's baptism? I now perhaps read 'Martin Schmeiske' and 'Justine Hock or Hork' ?

Hallo Agga,

ein großer Teil der vorhandenen Kirchenbücher wurden bereits indexiert, den Index kannst du durchsuchen. Versuche verschiedene Schreibvarianten oder Teilwörter, dann erhöht sich die Anzahl der Treffer. Damit kannst du die Geschwister von Heinrich finden und auch die Heirat seiner Eltern im Jahr 1879 im Kirchspiel Rozyszcze.

Thank you very much for your help and for the links to the original records! This really helps me a great deal.

The Russian entries are very difficult for me to read, and because of that I unfortunately misread some of the names. Thanks to your help, I can now correct this information and continue tracing my family further back.

I have only been researching this part of my German family history intensively for a relatively short time, and the family in Volhynia is particularly difficult for me because the records were kept in different languages and some church books are missing. So I am truly grateful for your help and your knowledge of these sources.

Thank you again—I am very happy about this new information!

Thank you very much. 1898 was my typo; Heinrich was born 10 January 1892. The image you found is actually the same original church-register image that I had found in AGAD. Because it is in Russian, I had apparently misread/transcribed the mother's surname as Ikkert/Eckert. I do not have a separate baptismal certificate giving that surname. So your reading of Marianne Appel is very important to me. So again, thank you. Greetings from Iceland, Agga
