Hi Cindi What you didn't mention was your ancestors' religion. We usually need this to direct you to the records of the correct parish. But, fear not, I have it all figured out. In the Austrian Crownland of Galicia, your ancestors were Greek Catholic and here is the data on the Greek Catholic parishes they attended. MYSCOWA near Krosno = MYSCOWA GC parish. LDS microfilms available. "Brezowa" = BRZEZOWA near Jaslo = DESZNICA GC parish. LDS microfilms available. MILIK near Nowy Sacz = MILIK GC parish. LDS microfilms available. "Andrzejowka" = JEDRZEJOWKA near Nowy Sacz = MILIK GC parish. LDS microfilms available. DESZNICA near Jaslo = DESZNICA GC parish. LDS microfilms available. "Wojskowa" = WOJKOWA near Nowy Sacz = WOJKOWA GC parish. LDS microfilms available. A suggestion: Use the European spelling of your ancestral surnames, RYDZIK and TYRPAK, when posting to a list focusing on a geographic region of Europe. Spellings used in North America or Australia only confuse matters. Succinct. I like it. Cheers and good luck with your research!

Hi Cindi: My grandmother's maiden name was Rydzik. Katarina Rydzik. This is the first time I've found anyone anywhere that has mentioned this last name. Do you have any other info on your Rydzik?
