An afterword about Helena

It occurs to me that we may well have Dutch blood running through our veins after all—albeit from Helena Zielke rather than David Buller. Note in the post below that Schrag indicates that the twenty-one Mennonite families who settled Zofyovka in Volhynia came from the Netherlands via Prussia (“Dutch Prussian”). What an interesting reversal of our expectations this would be!
