The area known as Galicia, formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, no longer exists. ?Towns that were in Eastern Galicia are now in Ukraine and towns that were in Western Galicia are now in Poland.? Routes to Roots Foundation http://www.rtrfoundation.org/archdta8.html The town that you?re referring to is PODWOLOCZYSKA. (also PODVOLOCHISSK, PODVOLOCHISKA and PODVOLOCHISK) It is located in the Ukraine, 203.6 miles WSW of Kiev.
