The village finds in Volhynia continue to grow with another 109 this week. We're still in Volhynia-Ukraine (not in Poland yet) and are approaching 1,000 villages there alone. Not bad for 3 months' time.
Many of these, no surprise, are defunct villages with little information about them other than they existed however briefly. Many are calculated from coordinates of other known villages that still exist and cross-referenced and verified with the Global Gazetteer and The German-Russian Handbook. At about 30 minutes per village, it's a fair amount of work, but we thought as long as we're in the neighborhood, might as well get them all.
Today we have four map refreshes.
