Hi Gay and Sophia,

Sophia, great find with that index and link you provided! I'm sure it will help others on the forum who are researching in that area.

Gay, from the index and link Sophia provided, I was able to find Michael Henschel's baptismal record on family search. It's Entry #358. It's Image #533. Film #1895624 Item 2. If you need the record translated, post the image in the German Records Translations section of the forum.

Hi Gay,

Having had success with your Komant family on your other thread, I thought I would come back to this one and give you a link to the same resource so that you can find your Henschel family members:

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~ukrgs/volhynia/index.html

As you can see, the index leads you to a list of names and gives the Family Search film number, page number, and the number of the individual record on that page so that you can see the image of the baptism, marriage or death. I think you will have fun finding them yourself, but if you need any help navigating this, just ask!
