Hi Dottie, The Henschel that I am searching for is my uncle by marriage to my maternal aunt. I have been attempting to help my cousins find information about their father and ancestors.
Albert Henschel was born in Evental (?) Zhitomir,Volhynia
in 1893 - his father was Wilhelm Henschel - his mother was Anna Ratz.
Albert emigrated to Canada in early 1914 with an older brother ,leaving the rest of the family behind, never to hear from them again. We have no information about the family in Evental - when they arrived - where they arrived from ? Hopefully we will find the answer. We have not yet been able to establish any other family relationships in Volhynia. of connections to other Henschel /ll or Ratz Surname
I will keep your letter on file, Just In Case. Thank you for getting in touch. Cheers, stella
