Wojewodzstwo is the Polish word for province. Note there are two places with the same name in close proximity. When I get home tonight, I will see if I can locate the proper parish for you. If it's the one near Wolownia, the parish would be Jeleniewo. I have family in that village. The other on may be Wigry or Suwalki. Do you know what religion your family practiced in Poland? Tina Ellis
