Chotinka aka Kolonie Chotenka or Neudorf or Nowe Chotenka (= New Chotenka)
is located about 4 km south of Kostopol.
Go to http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/ukraine.html and click on
Rivne, then #41.
Enlarge the map if necessary. Kostopol is on the right hand side, at
horizontal line 40.
You will see a main road heading almost due south from Kostopol. Chotenka
was east of that road about half way between horizontal 36 and 34. For
reference, Stare Chotenka (= Old Chotenka) is just north of there.
Is Hhurnibrod a place name from family lore or do you have it on a record
of some kind? As it stands by itself, my best guess is Horyngrod located
about 7 km SW of Tutschin. That place is on the west bank of the Horyn
River and in the extreme upper left corner of map #54.
If you have it on a document, I'd be happy to look at a scan to see if we
can get a better interpretation of the place name.
