[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Does Daria Firus = Anna Dorothea Firus????

[Sigrid Pohl Perry]

Kristen,
Yes, I would say that Daria and Dorothea are the same name. While 
indexing for the Lublin Project, I have seen this many times. The name 
is Daria in Cyrillic and usually Dorotta in Polish; the same given name 
is Dorothea in German. Sometimes the scribe or pastor will write a 
closer version of Dorothea in Cyrillic, but quite often it's Daria. And 
I've seen the same person listed more than once in the records, so I 
know that it's an equivalent and not just a different name.
