[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Hhurnibrod, Russia and Chotinka, Volynia

[Jerry Frank]

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.
