Hello Betty,
www.kartenmeister.com says:

 1. Sabiellen (from 1938 to 1945 Helenengrund), Ortelsburg, belonged to the Lutheran parish of Lipowitz, CRO Lipowitz
    and Catholic parish of Beutnerdorf.
    No registers have been microfilmed by the LDS.

    The only findings from Sabiellen are several pages of the Grundbuch [land and deeds register] of 1901 through 1943.
    They are stored in the

 2. Rheinswein (Reinswein, Ransk) had an own CRO, the incomplete registers of which (births 1877-1878, 1890,
    1895,1905-1908, marriages 1879,1884, 1887,1905-1906, deaths 1877-1878,1897,1906) are stored in the Olsztyn archive too.
    No Lutheran nor Catholic parish registers, no LDS microfilming.
