    Is it possible that Swaroff might be Zwierow aka Schwierow found in Luck county?  This part ot Volhynia was in Rozyszcze parish until 1899 when Luzk parish was formed.

  Swaroff is probably a mistranscription of Swiczow / Swojczow which is 
  located about 16 km due east of Wladimir Wolhynsk.

  Only places starting with B in this area are Barbarow and Boza Wola.

  No.  This is almost certainly Lutzk / Luck, a large town about 18 km SSE of 
  Rozyszcze.
