Hmm...do you have the correct spelling?
Virgeovitz
I think i found it Wągrowiec (German: Wongrowitz) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C4%85growiec
Immigration people probably spelled it their own way, how it sounds.

I found my grandfathers declaration of intent papers, and it says he was born in Odryzyn, or Wldsowcy . I put these names into the map and it says there are no such places. Does anyone have an idea if there is a different spelling. Thanks.
Odryzyn is in Belarus :)
Odryzyn is a village in Belarus
Wldsowcy ? maybe also was once upon a time tiny village in Belarus?
