    On the Kurt Lueck map of Polish Volhynia, there is a village formerly named Marcelinhof (changed to Mascza)  a few Kms south west of Kostopol.  It is in the tax district of Derazne in Kostopol county.  As far as I can tell the place never was in Rozyszcze parish but ended up in Tuczyn parish directly from part of Zhitomir parish in 1888.
    Mascza is also on your Volhynian map south west of Kostopol Jerry, but you show it's previous name as Futor Berestowiec.

  Your spelling is closer than many other attempts.  The parish name is 
  Roszyszcze and may have other variant spellings.

  What is the source of your information?  We do not have a Marcelinhof 
  in our list of villages but there is a Marcelindorf, alternately 
  known as Wolka.  It is roughly 10 km E of Derazno, on the south side 
  of the Horyn River.  I believe there was a bridge crossing the river 
  at this location.  It seems to fit within the region of the other 
  group of villages you posted last week.
