St. Pete records show and Auguste Huppe born to Carl H. and Karoline 
Terlick, 1868 in Alexandri.  According to a sequential search, this 
Alexandri = Alexandria, on the north side of the Horyn River, about 14 km 
NNE of Rowno.  Another Huppe family is noted in later years to be living a 
little further north at Berestowiec.

Diaschnio is probably Draschno / Derazno, a larger market town about 30 km 
NNW of Rowno.

The family probably migrated later to Totowitsch / Totowice which is about 
82 km N or Rowno (16 km W of Sarny).
