Burzynski Families and other families with roots in Wohlin (Volhynia) untill the end of WW 2 (1944)

This is a group for Polish and other people with relation in Burzynski family roots to Wohlin ( Volhynia) until the end of WW2 1944. Here in Geni there areother Genealogy Project groups for Jewish family roots and this group could more have focus to Roman Cathilic and other than Jewish family roots in Wolin.

I have started this group for and behalf of my ex-wife Ewa Burzynska in order to assist her and her family and all with connection to any Burzynski Families from Wohlin to find more about there family roots.

Volhynia Gubernia - Other Names: Volinskaya, Wolin, Wolyn, Wolina, Wolinsk, Volinski, Wolinski, Volenskii, Wolenskj, Wolenskja, Volin, Volyn. Volhynia was located in what is now a aprt of northwest Ukraine, on the border with Poland and Belarus.

Volhynia was ruled by Poland until the late 18th century, when Poland was partitioned by the Prussian, Austrian, and Russian empires. After the partition of Poland, Volhynia was a gubernia, or province, of the Russian Empire until 1919, when the western part of Volhynia once again became part of Poland. In 1945 the entire area of the Volhynia Gubernia was absorbed into the Soviet Union, but the gubernia system was no longer used and the Volhynia name was used to identify a smaller region, called an oblast, in the western part of the old gubernia. Most of what was the Volhynia Gubernia is now in Ukraine, with a small part of northern Volhynia in Belarus.

Major cities and towns in and around Volhynia include Zhitomir (the former capital), Rovno, Lutsk, Kovel, Berdichev, and Novograd-Volinsk.
