There are two Hrushiv-s in Lwow (Lvov, Lviv - whichever sounds more politically correct to you) Province (Oblast'): One is about 60 km NWW from Lwow and less than 1 km from the Polish border. Bigger towns in the vicinity are Yavoriv (Polish spelling - Jaworow) and Lubaczow (this one is on the Polish side). Another is about 60 km SW from Lwow (in the direction of Drohobych - Polish spelling Drogobycz). Bigger town in the vicinity are Drohobych, Sambir (Polish - Sambor), Komarno (this one is not actually big). > > Thank in advance for any information. If you give more leads (maybe your grandma told you what was the name of the river or what town they used to go to the market to...) we can figure out which one is yours. BTW, if some day you decide to visit the area or do some archival research, let me know. > > Regards, > > Charles > ctucker@wzrd.comCharlie - Sincerely, Igor Portnov. -- Igor Portnov EuroScope, LLC P.O.Box 5358, Winston-Salem, NC 27113-5358, USA Tel.: +1 (910) 722-2455 FAX: +1 (910) 631-9573 http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/2550/ still messy :-( but already informative :-)
