[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Village name Widoncka

[Jerry Frank]

I use the JewishGen easy search at 
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html   using the "search 
New Format" button.

Searching for a town takes a long time if you do not have a surname 
associated with it but it does work if you have lots of patience.
