Genealogy / DOLOVITZ - LAST NAME; NEVER SEEN IN AMERICA [11]

Hi, Just looking on the Ellis Island web site:

ellisisland.org/search/passSearch.asp

the various spellings of the name give differant results.
Dolovitz 0 hits
Dolowicz 3 hits
Dolowitz 10 hits.
It gives you a number of alternatives to search for.

Another web site: moikrewni.pl/mapa/

which shows the modern day distribution of surnames in Poland, shows the name Dolotov (only picks up five people in Poland with this surname).
This site doesn't have any other similar spellings of this name.

Richard.
