Yes it is.  It appears on my map as Terenin and is located about 4 km SSW 
of Pabianice.

Keep in mind 2 things.  The first is - when did they become Baptist?  You 
may in fact find early records in the Lutheran Church.

Also, only certain churches were authorized to collect civil records on 
behalf of the government.  Therefore you may find their b/m/d registrations 
at the nearest Catholic or Lutheran Church.
