[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Village name Widoncka

[joepessarra]

Jerry,

How do you do a search for only a town on the Ellis Island site?  I cannot
see a way to do this.  Every search looks like it needs at least two letters
of the surname.  What am I missing?

Karen,

As others have written, this spelling does not appear to be accurate.  I did
a search for that spelling on the Ellis Island site and nothing showed up. 

If you can send a copy of the manifest image to me personally, I will see if
I can get a better read on the spelling in context.  If it is on Ellis
Island, just provide me with the name and year and I will go there directly
myself.


Jerry

Need help locating this village: Widoncka. 



 I have seen it on 3 different arrival manifests in different years, all
spelled like this. The arrival manifests say Widoncka, Russia, but elsewhere
the family is described as Polish.



Thank you for whatever leads you can provide.
