I am searching for info on this family who moved from Russia to Liverpool around 1880. In some records the name was shortened to Vouch. Regards John johnwindle@btinternet.com =========== Looks like a name of Lithuanian origin, written in Polish and transliterated into English. What I find strange that a search of Lithuanian phone directory http://telefonai.takas.lt/index.php?language=english failed to produce any hits close to what I anticipated. However prof. Rymut's database of names in Poland http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/indexslo.html searched by Wo*nis shows several possible options: Wojcianis 4 Ki:2, Pt:2 Wojcielonis 1 Ol:1 Wojciulanis 0 0 Wojczulanis 31 Łd:5, Ol:17, Sł:4, Su:5 Wojtulanis 18 Wa:3, Bs:2, Gd:1, Pł:9, Su:3 Wojtulonis 4 Lg:4 A number next to the name shows total number of persons living in the 1990's in Poland, a two letter code denotes the district.
