Peresolup is easy.  Alternate spelling is Bresalup / Berezolupy and it is 
located about 14 km WSW of Rozyszcze or 24 km NW of Luck.

Jannow / Janow is tougher because there are 2.  One is about 15 km WSW of 
Peresolup or 8 km N of Zaturcy.  The other is about 11 km NW of Zaturcy.

Laschnitzi is the most difficult because the spelling appears to be quite 
convoluted.  You can do your own search at 
http://www.jewishgen.org/ShtetlSeeker/loctown.htm where I think the best 
fit seems to be Lesnica (pronounced Lesnitza).  I don't see any 
particularly close to Babiak but there is one just 3 km or so east of 
Kolo.  This one has not been recorded in any resources as a village with 
German settlers though it may have been one.

These folks are in the SGGEE database but, as you probably know, there is 
no place of origin associated with them.  As far as I know, the Lutheran 
records for Babiak have been extracted and these people are not listed 
there (at least not as a couple).  Because of the time frame involved, you 
may have to search Catholic records in the area as they would have had to 
register there before the establishment of a Lutheran Church.
