[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Help needed

Herschuel,

I read the names as Swiniar and Dobrzychow.  I would suggest that these are the same as Swiniary and Dobrzykow.  Dobrzykow is located between Plock and Gabin, about 8 km north of the latter town, while Swiniary is located about 11 km southeast of Dobrzykow.  According to the SGGEE Pedigree Database there were quite a few members of the Rinas family born in Wionczemin which is located about halfway between Dobrzykow and Swiniary.  And one David Rinas was born in Swiniary in 1836.

Hope this helps.
