[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Location Zerscze, Latze or Leschtsch

[Jerry Frank]

My best guess with a little imagination is that Latze and Leschtsch 
are phonetic equivalents and that they refer to Laczki, a known 
German settlement about 25 km SW of Lublin.

The closest match I could find for Zerscze is Zrecze but it is not in 
the Lublin / Chelm region.  It is located some 20 km or so SSE of 
Kielce.  It is not currently recognized as a German settlement.

I browsed the region around Laczki hoping to find a possible match 
for Zerscze but came up blank.
