[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Place Name Urichwost

To all,

My German co-worker has suggested that the location noted by the pastor 
above the three grouped records is "Lethausn zu Rozyszcze".   He thinks 
that perhaps there is a missing e and that the place is Lethausen.

The 3, including the two from Ulwichwost (writing is very clear) took place at Rozyszcze.  I would therefore expect to see this village very nearby that location.

(just as others start with Kol.).  I have not been able to see this village on any on line maps.  I have a few more hard copy resources at home and will check them when I get there.
