Welcome Larry,
There were two Stare Siolo (Old Village) in Galicia during the Austro-Hungarian Period. I suspect that
your ancestral village might be the one located in what is Poland today??? The one in Ukraine was
in the Bobrka powiat during Hapsburg Period. Today it is in Peremyshlyany raion/district.

From late 18th century to 1919 wies/village Stare Siolo was predominantly a Ruthenian/Ukrainian village
w/its own Greek Catholic Church. The filial RC Church and the Jewish Kahal were in Oleszyce. Cieszanow
was the POWIAT (administrative district-county) and Lubaczow was the GMINA (judicial-tax district)>
Galicia Province, administered by ethnic Poles for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1919 thru WW2,
the region came under Reconstituted Poland's domain, Technically Poland had not existed as a geopolitical
entity for the previous 125 yrs. Under Polish domain Lubaczow became the powiat and Lwow was the
wojiwodstwo/region. Post WW2, Poland was under Communist domain.
Stare Siolo was/is 2.5 miles ENE of Sucha Wola. Lupina/?LIPINA and Sucha Wola abut each other.
Sucha Wola had its own GC Church. Everything else re govt same as above.
I used Mapquest (M) on Stletlseeker to locate villages above.
