 The Germans from Volhynia and Russian Poland
After the partition, Volhynia was a gubernia, or province, of the Russian Empire until 1919, when the western part of Volhynia once again became part of Poland.
In 1945 the entire area of the Volhynia Gubernia was absorbed into the Soviet Union, but the gubernia system was no longer used and the Volhynia name was used to identify a smaller region, called an oblast, in the western part of the old gubernia.
German craftsmen and merchants had settled in the region as early as the 13th century, and with the expansion of Protestantism, Germans were involved in setting up Protestant schools and played an important part in the cultural development of the area.

The Gubernskie Vedomosti for Minsk gubernia are in the New York Public Library (NYPL) as well as a few other university libraries.
Because the old Vitebsk gubernia was split up between Belarus, Latvia, and Russia, it is possible that the records we need are not in Belarus, but are in Latvia or Russia.
One set of records from Vitebsk that are in the Minsk archive and have been filmed by the Family History library is FHL film #1,920,795, Senno Births 1861-1864 (there are other Jewish records on this film).
