Village was known in Polish as Kołosów. During the interwar period (1918-1939) village was located within Bialokrynica parish of Krzemieniec (Kremenets) district of Wolhynia (Volin) Province.
As one can see from the Kołosów entry in Poland 1921 Business Directory, there were 519 residents, and all the nearest facilities such as telephone, telegraph, post office and the  train station  were located 9 km (6 miles) distance in Krzemieniec.
Refer to Kołosów at JewishGen (Jewish Records Indexing - Poland Project):

There is also entry for Kołosów (Kołosowa) in circa 1870 Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and...

She is there as Brown Leah, not Leah Brown. Use Leah as the surname. Same society as her husband.

Hi Cousins,

I'd like to know if BMD records for Vietka/Vetka in the Gomel Region of
Belarus have been digitized and put online somewhere, even if not
translated. I'm particularly interested in records from 1800 to 1920,
and especially from 1870 to 1920.

Thanks so much!

Joel, how did you come by a translated version of these records?  My husband's grandfather had a sister who ended up in St. Petersburg.  She was married to someone with surname Pekar (that is all I know) and, per family lore, he was an opera singer who "sang for the czar".  I know that they remained in Russia and had two daughters.  I would love to track down these individuals, or at least find out what happened to them, as the family eventually lost contact with them.  But I have no idea even how to begin.  I am not aware of what records even exist in Russia, which are accessible, and if any translations have been done.  Can you give me some guidance as to how to start or point me to a good guide on Russian Jewish genealogy, if such a thing exists?

I trust that Allan Jordan is correct.  I've never known him to be wrong.  I'll bet that the gravestone, if there is one, is correct.  I looked at the death certificate and I can understand how somebody, in a hurry, transliterated the name Braver incorrectly to Brown.  I won't be at that cemetery this year.  Otherwise I would photograph the gravestone for you.  However, you can call the cemetery and ask them if they will photograph it for you.  Many cemeteries will do that free of charge.

Good luck,
Robert Hanna

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I should add that I was told that my Great Grandfather’s name was “Rehabilitated” in Russia and a plaque was placed on the building where the family lived. 

My Uncle William Shneyer went to Russia at that time to be present. He asked if he could see his family home. He was able to, but was told by the people living there that the Shneyer family could not have have lived there because he was Jewish. 

He was allowed to see the home.
Thank you once again for your kindness in providing me with information.

Johanna Tekla may have been buried next to her husband (divorcee?) in Quarter IV, grave 1, in the Catholic Graveyard at the address Solglimtsgatan 1 in Solna, a city in the Haga neighborhood, at the outskirts of the city of Stockholm. However, as the record (http://www.gravar.se/forsamling/katolska-kyrkogarden-i-stockholm/katolska-kyrkogarden/0/iv/georg-von-kraskowski) doesn't show her death date, it may be a reserved grave that was never used.

In any case, you may be able to get more information from: info@.... Tekla doesn't seem to be buried in the Jewish cemetery, which by the way is more or less adjacent to the Catholic one above.

Talnoy is in Zvenigrod county in Kyiv gubernia
there is an 1811 revision list on Alex K which has a section for this town  at:
https://uk.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%90%D1%80%D1%85%D1%96%D0%B2%D0%B8/%D0%94%D0%90%D0%9A%D0%9E/280/2/254

the section for this town starts on p 918

this is the only document I see with a specific mention of the town but there are many documents for the Zvenigrod county in Alex K's wiki at https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%84%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%81%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B5_%D0%BC%D1%96%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%BE#%D0%97%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%81%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%96%D1%82

I used a similar search method as Allan Jordan and also came up with Leah Brown, died Oct 29, 1930. Like Allan, I am reasonably confident that this is probably the burial you are searching for. These types of errors are quite common. The database was prepared using handwritten records, and in the case of some of the burial societies, the plots were purchased directly through the society, and the names were provided to the cemetery by the society. Trying to get the cemetery to correct information in their database can be a challenge. However, once you check the headstone and confirm it is her, provide the cemetery with a photograph of the headstone along with her death certificate, and you should be able to get them to correct their database. From past experience, I have found that cemeteries will generally not correct the spelling without official documentation such as a death certificate.

One possible answer to the problem:
I had a similar problem when I found a grave  listed for a friend's family member who had died as a child. It is a small cemetery in Pennsylvania which has not been used since about 1945 and is under restoration - Har Hasetim in Gladwyne Pennsylvania.   The deceased was listed on the original cemetery list but the stone could not be found.  My friend then remembered that the body had probably been exhumed and moved to another cemetery in a nearby town which the family used later.

My great aunt tried to keep it a secret but my Nana (Ruth maiden name of stepfather Klemens) knew that her father wasn't her older siblings' father.  Her mom Celia Klemens (Klemens was deceased husband's last name, Celia was born Celia Segerman and changed maiden name to Sage) married Sam Scechers (of various spellings) in Chelsea, Massachusetts for less than a year, until the baby was born. Then he disappeared. My great aunt would shake her head and say that it was a big secret to keep from my grandmother Ruth and Ruth's only child, my mother Harriet. I only learned he was from Canada and was not near and dear to the family at all. Now my mother, his granddaughter is 88, she would like to know if descendants are out there. Names pop up in her DNA results that are unfamiliar. I have found that Sam's parents (and Sam?) were Eastern European immigrants Eva Richwell and Judah Scechers. Did Sam have siblings? Another spouse? Other children? Would really love to hear from descendants of other children.

Thank you,
