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.
