Hi Kaprys,

I have a picture of the family and Vasily is seen wearing a uniform, theres a badge on his cap and some people have told me that it's the Governorate of Warsaw.

This is from Wikipedia:
Warsaw Governorate (Polish: Gubernia warszawska; Russian: Варшавская губерния) was an administrative unit (governorate) of the Congress Poland.
It was created in 1844 from the Masovia and Kalisz Governorates, and had the capital in Warsaw. In 1867 territories of the Warsaw Governorate were divided into three smaller governorates: a smaller Warsaw Governorate, Piotrków Governorate and the recreated Kalisz Governorate.

A small reform in 1893 increased the Warsaw Governorate's size with territories split from Płock and Łomża governorates.

Also, theres a medal pinned on his uniform and I think its for "For spotless service in the police". (Medal "For irreproachable service in police.").

Thats all I have. If I knew where exactly in Warsaw, it would be something to go with.

Thanks,
John

Does anybody know what kind of name is адинец, Василий (Vasily Adinets)? The spelling of the last name could be Odinets, Odinietz, Adinietz, Adinets? Where that name could be from, for example: Warsaw, around WWI?
