This is the place listed on the passenger list for my grandmother's last place of residence. Her brother listed Mstivlavisk (an alternative spelling of this name), which is both a town/city and a Uezd. The Volost for Dudin is Monastyvshchinsk. On the JewishGen site I can find Dudin on a list of agricultural colonies in Western Russia prior to 1904. Does anyone on the Belarus list have any additional info on Dudin and/or other agricultural colonies in Western Russia? The info on the JewishGen agricultural colonies site is about the colonies in the Ukraine. Elaine
