Leah,

Your commentary about the Zwar family suggests that the Karlinufka you are looking for should perhaps be somewhat close to Kolowert. The closest one I am aware of is the one that was previously being discussed in this thread. It was located, according to historical info, on the north side of the Slucz River but it has never been found on a topographical map so we don't know the precise location.

Please note also that this area was in Tuczyn Parish after 1888. Prior to that, they would have been part of the Zhitomir Parish but they would not have traveled all the way to worship there. They would have worshiped in a local chapel or their school. Baptisms and deaths would have been handled by the local Kantor. Marriages and communion were conducted by the pastor as he traveled through the region several times a year.

SGGEE might help with your search in the Kalisz region as well. You may be able to take the family back another generation or two.
