I don't remember seeing the original posting.

I cannot find a place with that spelling.  The closest spelling is probably 
Zarech'ye of which there are numerous locations in Ukraine, several in 
Volhynia.  The closest I can find is Zarech'ye / Zariecze / Zacerkowie 
about 30 miles NE of Janowka (straight line, so much further by roads and 
trails).  This is about 8 km N of Andrejewka-Emiltschinskaja and 8 km W of 
Kischin, known German settlements.

A scattering of farms is often named on old maps but a 25 mile radius is 
just too big to try to browse manually.  It would be helpful if you knew a 
general direction away from Janowka or if you knew the name of another 
nearby village.
