Dear Genners,
Here is a summary of what I learned >from all of you about the given
name Wolodia. Thank you for all your help.
Barbara Zimmer

Wolodja is a diminutive form of Vladimir, an old Slavic name which
translates as "a ruler".
Wolodia, pronounced Volodya, is the Russian version. The Yiddish
equivalent is Velvel or Wolf; Zev in Hebrew. Many of these names
became William in the US.

In Polish the nickname is known as Wladek (Vladek) or Wladzio (u) as in
Liberace's name variation >from the full name Wlodzimierz.
Not to be confused with the other popular Polish nicknames Wladek (from
Wladyslaw) or Waldek (>from Waldemar).

The most famous bearer of that name in the 20th century is Wladimir
Ilich Lenin, the Russian Bolshevik leader. The name is also popular
among the Jews in modern Russia

I am looking for assistance with a translation of the front of a
photograph, contains pre-1917 Russian print. A copy of the photo was
provided to me by a cousin who believes it may be of a STAM relative
(perhaps a Golda TOCZYLOWSKI) >from Suwalki, but we do not know for certain.

I am hopeful that the Russian language may yield some information
as to where this photo was taken. A link to the image is here:

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=14312

The back of the photo also has some Russian, but also either Hebrew or
Yiddish handwritten text, and I am hopeful this will provide a name for
the subject of the photo. A link to that image is here:

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Dear Genners,

I've posted to ViewMate the record of an 1891 marriage performed in
Piatek, Poland. The archives are held in Pocku. I would be grateful if
you might render a translation >from the Cyrillic that provides the
material features of the ceremony. Document is at
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate number 14325.

Thank you for your help.

MODERATOR NOTE: Information is available >from JewishGen's Jewish Online Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR) at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/Submit.htm
There is also a link to JOWBR's database as well as other JewishGen databases at
this site.

The 1929 Polish Business Directory has been digitized by Jewish
Records Indexing - Poland and subsequently posted on the web
as a joint project of JRI-Poland in cooperation with JewishGen;
you can browse it and search by town at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/Jri-pl/bizdir/bd1929.htm.

JRI-Poland and JewishGen are now considering a new Joint
Project to make the information even more valuable to
researchers.

The directory has entries for more than 30,000 towns including
many thousands of towns which are today part of Belarus and
the Ukraine; but viewing the pages is not enough; we would like
to create a database so that all genealogists can enter a surname
and view every entry for that surname in all the towns. For that
we need a project manager who can organize, recruit, train and
manage hundreds of volunteers throughout the world.

The scope is relatively managable as the pages are already
online, and each entry is already available in print form in Latin
characters; we anticipate only 4-5 fields per entry (surname/
business name, first name, occupation, town) but there are a
copious number of entries.

The completed database will become part of and searchable
on both the JRI-Poland and JewishGen All-Poland databases.

Do you want to 'give back' to those genealogists who have
helped you along the way? Do you have 10 hours a week for
the next year or so? Are you well organized, feel comfortable
with Excel and willing to manage volunteers?

If so, email Phyllis Kramer, VP Education, JewishGen Inc. at

Thank you!
