Irene's text got messed up because our mailing 
list will not transmit special characters.

The fully correct spelling for Lodz is to 
reproduce the Polish character L with a slash 
through it.  The approximate sort of almost 
pronunciation of it is something like "vwudge" but don't hold me to that.  :-)

If you want to show it correctly in your family 
history book, you can do so by inserting it as a 
special character in most word processors.
