Gary gave you an excellent contact name.

For your places go to http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm

Click on vertical 44 - horizontal 51 - Rivne.  Enlarge the map if 
necessary and find the large town of Rowno near the bottom centre.

Follow the rail line north from Rowno to the crossing of the major 
river, the Horyn River.  Follow the river easterly till it turns 
south.  There you will find Tuczyn.

Follow the same river west from the railway crossing, then as it 
curves north, and then, at Derazno, turning northeast.  A short 
distance from there you will see Marcelindorf, also known as 
Wolka.  At that point is a small river which you follow southeasterly 
until you reach Marcelinhof, also known as Maszcza.  If you look to 
the west of there, you will see Solomka, also known as 
Friedrichsdorf, ancestral home to many other German Volhynians from Morden.
