I know of a village called Wolka Brwilenska, which is in Duninow parish, just across the river from the city of Plock. Duninow parish was part of the Archdioces of Plock, but in the civil administration, Gostynin 'county', not part of the Plock 'county'. I am suggesting that there could be tens of villages which start with Wolka in the Plock area. If you do not have a 19th century or modern gazateer of Poland, you could do a search of Catholic church micro films at the LDS web site, FamilySearch.org, search for Plock Poland, then open each parish found in the Plock Archdioces, and see which cities, towns or villages were in each parish, extract those which start with Wolka, then determine if any of them is yours. The benefit of this is that if you find your village, you know the microfilm where your family probably left records. You might find your village in less than an hour. Another option is to call the Central European Reference Librarian at the LDS church in Salt Lake. Submit your request, then when they have time, they might look it up. I wrote them a letter looking for a village that I found in a NJ marriage record of my grandfather. They not only looked it up, but sent a copy of a map where the village was located. Very, very nice people.
