Brief History - 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.

Deutsch-Michalin Mennonites
The earliest Mennonite settlement in Russia started in Deutsch-Michalin in 1787, a few years prior to Chortitza. At that time Michalin and its neighboring town of Makhnovka was part of the province of Volhynia which was annexed by Russia in 1793.

Subject: [Volhynia] Mennonite families in Volhynia
Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 22:09:58 -0700
I am researching the Mennonite families that settled in Deutsch Michalin
and Karolswalde, Volhynia in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Some of the
family names are Kliewer, Harms, Jantz, Balzer, Bertel, Becker, Balzer, Unruh,
Nickel, Schroeder, Schmidt, Koehn, Ratzlaff, Pankratz, Voth (Voot, Foht, Voht)
Ewert, Eck, Wohlgemuth, Siebrandt, Wicher.
If ayone on the list is familiar with any of these names pre 1875 in
Volyhynia or in West Prussia please contact me. I am particularly interested in tracing
the inhabitants of Karolswalde. I have much information on the inhabitants
of Michalin which I am happy to share.
Hoping to hear from someone out there.
