Hello,
In order to start search in Poland you really need the location he was born or at least lived for some time in Poland. Do you have his immigration records? Have you checked his marriage record? What was the religion?
The proper spelling of the surname is Wo³owski perhaps ( with a line, sounding like English w), quite popular surname, both among Polish and Jews (according to Ellis Island). Currently there are ~1500 people with Wolowski/Wolowska surname. The areas of bigger concentration are Lodz, Zgierz, Torun, Lipno, Mlawa couties (all except Torun I think were in part of Poland occupied by Russia).
