I am translating a Hebrew article from the Wloclawek Yizkor book and need help translating names of villages/towns from the Hebrew/Yiddish to English or Polish names. The article title is: Alexandrov and Dobrzin nad Wisla.

Tried both, but could not figure out from the Yiddish name what the Polish one is.
I was hoping that someone in the forum might know. Relly Coleman |

The Jewish Communities Database on Jewishgen gives the names of a place in Yiddish, Polish, Russian, whatever is appropriate. The only drawback is that it only has big Jewish Communities, so if your family was one of only a few Jewish families in town, it wouldn't be there.
For example, Golinka (Russian), Alinka (Yiddish), Holynka (Belarussian). All the same town. Sally Bruckheimer Princeton, NJ "could not figure out from the Yiddish name what the Polish one is." |

Using The JewishGen Communities Database (soundex search) is helpful: https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/Search.asp Droyanov perhaps: Troyaniv [Ukr], Troyanov [Rus, Yid], Trojanów [Pol], Troianiv, Treyonev, Trayanov Region: Volhynia https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1056613 Pomoza perhaps: Pamūšis [Lith], Pamusha [Yid], Pomusze [Pol], Pamush, Pomushe, Pamuše, Pamušio Region: Kovno https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-2617611 Or, maybe: Pomerania, (region), Poland Pomerania [Eng], Pommern [Ger], Pomorze [Pol] Hope this helps, Sherri Bobish |

Many smaller shtetls names have been added to the latest edition (2002) of WOWW2 (Where Once We Walk). Since 2002 publication, hundreds of the additional smaller shtetls name have been added to JGFF site at JewishGen Family Finder - Search Alexander Sharon |
