[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Village name Widoncka

[Jerry Frank]

Edelgard,

This particular location would have been in Galicia which was ruled by 
Austria, not Russia.

There was another Widelka near Kielce which would have been in Russia.  
That might be a better option.

Keep in mind also that the l in this place name has a slash through it 
which means that the pronunciation is something like Videvka.  That 
seems to digress significantly from the Widoncka spelling which, if 
accurate, would be pronounced something like Vidontska.
