Hello Herschuel,
think I found it.
1. In the IGI you can find several RINAS from Wionczemin, Gombin,
Warszawskiego, Poland. So I focussed to this region (southeast of
Płock, left bank of Wisla river).
2. some km northwest of Wionczemin [Wiączemin] you find at the
southern outskirts of Płock the village Dobrzyków.
3. just one km southeast of Wiączemin Polski is Swiniary - adeline's
residence!
