[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Smolarnia

[Jerry Frank]

Kurt Luck's map shows Smolarnia just northeast of and very close to 
Kohilno.  I have not found any topographical map that shows it.  The 
Berkley map shows a country road there with about 5 houses along 
it.  Perhaps that is the location.

ShtetlSeeker also confirms that location with the spelling of SMOLYARNYA.
