I'm a violinist that's out of practice, so when I recieved a piece of hand written sheet music, much to my humiliation, I wasn't 100% sure of a certain notation, a diagonal slash, sometimes two, that runs through the stem of the note.
example:

I'm pretty sure it means to accentuate or something, but as a violin, am I suppose to trill? I know to most this is going to sound like a ridiculously easy question, but I've just forgotten, and I've been playing a trill on those notes in the meantime. Help?

It's to indicate 'tremolando', where you rapidly move the bow back and forth across the string, whilst retaining the same pitch (not a trill) The more lines the faster the tremolando.

Sorry, I can't personally help you but here's a violin forum that you can go to.
