Hello everybody!
I'm new here. I'm looking for my ancestors in Volhynia. My great-great-grandfather was Heinrich Pöhl born in Wandy Wola 10. January 1898. His parents according to his baptism record were Mikhail/Michael Pöhl and Marianna Ikkert/Eckert and his godparents were Johann and Justine Appelt. My great-great-grandmother was Mathilde Friedrich born in Wysoka 8. December 1878. Her parents were according to her baptism record Johann Friedrich and Anna Louise Krüger and her godparents were Martin Domres/Damroske and Justine Höck. Heinrich and Mathilde married 26. September 1912 in Wlodzimierz Wolodymyr, I have not found their marriage record, Agad has none from 1899-1915. Their daughter, Olga my great-grandmother was born 15. June 1913 in Goljarka. They later moved to Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein and were at least there in 1930, they all lived all of their life there. I have the birthdays and places from Olga's second marriage record in Lübeck. What I want to know is Michael's and Marianna's birthday and parent and siblings if possible and the same for Johann and Anna Louise. I also wanna know the names of Heinrich's and Mathilde's siblings. Does anybody know anything to help me? I'm in Iceland so I can't go to archives in Germany and I'm eager to know everything I can about my ancestors in Volhynia. Greetings from Iceland, Agga

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!

Hallo Agga,
bist du noch an Antworten interessiert? Ich sehe hier keine Reaktion von dir, obwohl sich schon Leute die Mühe gemacht haben, sich mit deinen Vorfahren zu befassen.
Heinrich Pöhl born in Wandy Wola 10. January 1898. His parents according to his baptism record were Mikhail/Michael Pöhl and Marianna Ikkert/Eckert
Heinrich kann nicht 1898 geboren worden sein, wenn er 1912 bereits geheiratet hat, ist das ein Schreibfehler? Und in Wandawola finde ich kein Elternpaar mit den von dir genannten Namen Ikkert/Eckert, wohl aber einen Heinrich PAHL *10 Jan 1892 in Wandawola, Vater Michael, Mutter Marianne APPEL. Welches Taufdokument liegt dir vor, wann wurde es ausgestellt und von wem?
Gruß, Irene

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

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 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 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?
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.
Brzozówka
https://maps.app.goo.gl/hxZY4Ws3ALWvPZ2X6
Vier Kinder zwischen 1862 und 1867 aus der ersten Ehe von Michael mit Eva MEIER:
https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&lang=pol&bdm=B&w=07mz&rid=B&search_lastname=Mejert...
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 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

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 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' ?

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
