As far as I am aware, there were Mennonite settlements around Dubno, 
south of Ostrog, SW of Nowograd Wohynsk, and at Heinrichsdorf SW of 
Zhitomir.  However, they were often noted for spending just a few 
years in a certain place before moving on to more permanent 
settlements elsewhere so it is certainly possible that there were 
some in other locations and times.
