I think Lugardia would be a good fit, located a short distance ESE of 
Nowograd Wolhynsk, roughly 3 km south of the highway to Zhitomir.  One of 
the Stebner families in the St. Pete list lived just 22 km east of there at 
Beresowo Hat.

Several possibilities here, unfortunately.  Most likely, because of 
proximity, is Bolarka about 20 km N of Beresowo Hat.  There is another west 
of Emilicin.  Also Boljarka, east of Heimtal.  St. Pete shows a Lips family 
at Bolarka - birth of August Gottlieb to Ludwig and wife Eva 
Stroebel.  You'd have to do the special search to help find which Bolarka 
it is but I am just heading out the door so don't have time to do it.

The Jewish origin MIGHT be true in their particular case but a check of the 
Germany phonebook reveals too many to list without narrowing the region so 
it is a common Germanic surname.
