Hello again,
I justed wanted to thank all that responded to my query. It is nice to
have such a knowledgable group of people to help with stuff like this.
Also, I have a couple of comments.
>The village Grabina located 13 km in the South of Radom.
>The map H36 ("Karten des westlichen Russland", 1915) show this
>village with 12 houses.
Gerhard, is this your personal map or is it on the internet?
> The only possible fit in the region seems to be Pludnica, about 20 km

Pludnica seems to be the only village that is even close in name.
Also, if the Grabina above is the correct village, then these two
would be relatively close to each other.

After I sent this email, I remembered that one of the children of this
couple was found in the EWZ. He stated that his mother, Julianna
Wentland, which is the person that was born in Wola, was from
Pietrikau. If this is actually Piotrkow, I'm sure that there are many
places near it also that have Wola as part of its name.
Thanks,
