Fedorowka (or Feodorowka) can be identified.

Go to http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/ukraine.html and click on Zitomir. Then click on #44 Yemilchino (= Emilcin). Enlarge the map if necessary.

Go to vertical line 58 and then down to horizontal line 24. Just above that is a town begining Cepbo ... That is Serbo-Slobodka. To the west, the next town is BapBapoBka which is Warwarowka. Fedorowka was on the road between those 2 villages. I think it was probably the western part of what today is Serbo-Slobodka.

Neudorf translates to New Village and this is a problem because there are several in Volhynia with that name or that begin with that name. The closest to Fedorowka is Neudorf-Tomara (also known as Nechworascha). The precise location of that village is not known but it would have been in the extreme lower right corner of this map.

There was a larger Neudorf further east. Many Baptists lived in this area though also some Lutherans. It is found on map #57, to the left of vertical line 92 and just above horizontal line 04.
