What can you guys tell me about Volhynian Czechs? My maternal great grandmother was a Volhynian Czech but it's really difficult to find information online about this sub-group.
From what I know, "Volhynian Czech" was a catch-all term used for Slavic (and possibly Hungarian and German?) speakers who migrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Volhynia in the late 19th/early 20th century.
I didn't get Czechia as a region on 23andme but I did get Hungary as a region and my great grandmother's surname looks more Hungarian than it does Czech imo. Is it possible that this ancestor was Slovak or something of the sort? Thanks
