Food / Pierogi recipe and filling from my grandmother [179]

Merged:Different Pierogi Recipe

I noticed the older pierogi recipe post, but my grandmother always made the dough as 1 part milk, 1 part flour and 1 egg. It came out like pancake batter and was fried the same way. A filling of cottage cheese and onion was placed on the inside and it was folded over. Looks kind of like an omlet. Didn't know if anyone else had a similar recipe. We always knew them as pierogis but they aren't like the traditional pierogi.

Genealogy / Wladyslaw and the English equivalent [22]

I've been working on the genealogies for families in my local hometown in Western New York and I am curious about the name Wladyslaw. I know that the accepted English equivalent is Ladislaus, but it seems that the name always became James. Is this an accepted translation in other areas or was it something that became common in certain communities? I've also heard that Walter is an accepted equivalent as well.
