Take a look at www.kami.net.pl/kresy then type in *wiskowszczyzna" (use the asterisk as a wildcard to replace the S) and you'll see it on the map. reply

Folwark Świskowszczyzna is shown on the Russian military map from the end of XIX century.
On the Polish map from 1930th it is not shown as folwark, but the village with the same name appeared in 1 km from it. Perhaps, the land of the forlwark was sold and transferred to the colonists.
Coordinates of the folwark are: 53. 076127, 26. 290096
There is a farm field today at the place of former folwark. reply
