I went thru Lenius' Gazetteer, Galizien German Descendent Map & Semanchuk's 1939 Galzien Deutsche
Settlement Map and found no German Settlement w/such name in Galicia.

From late 18th century to 1921, your village was very probably in the Vohlynia gubernia ( today Vohlynska
oblast/region). Zhytomir was the regional capital at the time. Vohlynia and Lviv (during Austro-Hungarian
period called Lemberg) abut.

LDS film 2380038. This film has birth and death records from 1881-1898 from Elisabethpol >
Vladimir Volinsky uzeyd > Vohlynia gubernia > Russian Empire. Elisabethpol was a
Lutheran settlement.

Question May have found it on the map!

I think I may have found it on the map -

Wladimir-Wolynskij (Vladimir Volinsky)

Kol. Jelizapetpol

Would that possibly be an alternate name for Elisabetpol/Elizabetpol etc.?

What is KOL.?

Excellent, you have found it!!!

JE = YE = E

It is the same name. These are all transliteration/sounds like.

Kol is abbr for Kolonia/Colony
