My grandfather, who was Jewish, was from Ivan-Frankovisk, specifically from Peczenizyn, near Kolymea. We believe he was conscripted in about 1912 or 1914. One family member said he was in the cavalry because he had a horse. (Not confirmed.) In any case, it seems he was captured as a POW and spent at least six years in Siberia. He returned in 1920, married my grandmother, and immigrated to the U.S. We would like any insight you can provide, such as what regiment he might have belonged to, where in Siberia he might have been imprisoned, or anything else that would shed light on this skimpy history. The Joint Distribution Committee has records of some of the POWs from that period but his information was not among them. Thank you!
