Hello Herschuel,
think I found it.

   1. In the IGI you can find several RINAS from Wionczemin, Gombin,
      Warszawskiego, Poland. So I focussed to this region (southeast of
      Płock, left bank of Wisla river).
   2. some km northwest of Wionczemin [Wiączemin] you find at the
      southern outskirts of Płock the village Dobrzyków.
   3. just one km southeast of Wiączemin Polski is Swiniary - adeline's
      residence!
