I have three questions where I would appreciate some assistance:

1. Does anyone know how I can access the 1921 Polis census?
2. My mother was born in Holubicze, near Glebokie, in the Wilno area on 17 July 1920. I cannot find Holubicze on the map and could use some advice.
3. My mother's maiden name was Waleria Paszkiewicz and her married name was Korotkiewicz. Can anyone offer advice where I can look to find marriage and birth certificates and whether any of the Paszkiewicz or Korotkiewicz families may still reside in the Wilno area?

I recognize this is a difficult undertaking so I appreciate any help you can offer in locating my mother's ancestors.
