[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Wegierka Location

[Jerry Frank]

We have an 1837 map that shows it in the expected 
location.  In both cases it shows We~gierka (with 
the diacritic hook below the first e).  My Polish 
/ English dictionary shows We~gierski = of Hungary or Hungarian.

Your application of the word is probably correct 
for the Hungarian Plum, a type of plum that can 
be readily researched on the Internet using 
GOOGLE.  See for example, "Polish Holiday 
Cookery" by Robert Strybel, Page 214 (available in part through GOOGLE Books).
