Dowkaj & Kostiuk from Kolodezhe>Vohlyn Region
Village still exists today, although Lutsk is no longer its district center.
selo/village Kolodezhe (formerly Kolodezh)>Horohivskij Raion/District>Vohlynska Oblast/Region> UA - current zip code for village is 45751 This is a difficult area for archives research. Much of Vohlyn was razed by both the Bolshevik's and the Nazi's. Mother's religion will be key to records. Keep in mind that c. 1930s Vohlyn was part of Poland. Prior to 1919 it was part of Russia. Any records available should be in Lutsk, in Vohlyn Oblast Archives, however there might also be some in Lviv Historical Archives (for Northern Vohlyn Oblast/Guberniya). There is no prepayment for Archives' Inquiries in Ukraine!!! If information re surname/s can be located, they will notify you w/general info and what the cost for inquiry will be. Vitayemo -- Ukraine GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ukrwgw/index2.htm RAGAS - Activities in the Archives http://feefhs.org/ragas/rag-arch.html Try a PLACE SEARCH for LUTSK and see what might be available thru LDS/Mormon Genealogy Library. Most records available thru LDS will probably predate Mother's time frame. WW2 obits are always worth a look.
