Hello,

Thank you for your kind rating.

To see a map of Horodenka, scroll down this page.
http://shangrila.cs.ucdavis.edu:1234/heckman/gorodenka/
Where it says "maps" you will find a number of maps to choose from.
There is one map from 1914 and another of Galicia from an 1882
historical atlas.

Unfortunately I can’t research family names in local archives as I
don’t know the language.

Perhaps if you post a new question, another researcher may be able to
help you with your genealogy research.

Best regards,
Bobbie7-ga

quick and accurate-I am grateful
