looking for relatives

[PeterWolynec]

Hello all,

I am seeking (information on how to find) two people
(or their descendants):

sister and brother: Maria and Vladimir Wolynec
(the surname could be Wolyniec or Wolynetz)

Both would be more than 70 years of age.

I believe that they are from:
Pomoryany (alternative forms: Pomorzany Pomoriany)
Zolochiv District, L'viv Oblast

Have a great new year!
Peter.

There is Volodymyr aged 86 in Pomoriany, and Maria must have changed her name upon marriage.

[PeterWolynec]

Thank you IreneLviv for your prompt reply.

How do I contact Volodymyr Wolynec in Pomoryany?
Or, at least, the village administration?
[So as to ascertain that he is the one I am seeking.]

[IreneLviv]

Try village council +380326558260
They will probably have holdays until 11 January.

[PeterWolynec]

Once again, many thanks IreneLviv!

Peter,

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year !!!

You may find following repost interesting.

From late 18th century to 1919 wies/village Pomorzany (Polish name)
was a fair size village w/its own Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic Churches
& its own Jewish Kahal. Zborow was both the powiat/
administrative district and the gmina/judicial-tax district Tarnopilskie
wojiwodstwo > Galicia Province, administered by ethnic Poles for the
Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1919-1939 this region came under
Reconstituted Poland's domain. Technically Poland had not existed
for the previous 125 yrs. Post WW2 this region became a part of
SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain until 1991 when Ukraine became
independent.

Today selo POMORYANY (Ukr name) still exists, however the district
and region has changed. Zolochivsky (Zolochiv) raion/district >
Lvivska (Lviv) oblast/region > Ukraine, latest zip code 80760-761.
(Coordinate Lat: 49.63333 Long: 24.93333). It sits practically on the
border between the Lvivska and Ternopilska oblasts.

Originally Poryany was a wooden fortress. First written mention of the settlement
is made in 1437. In 1456 it became a town and in 1504 it received its Magdenburg
trading and artisan rights. The wooden fortress continued to protect the residents
against the Varangians, and then later the Turks w/the Tatars destroyed the wooden
structure. In the 16th century a stone fortress was built. Then the Polish King Jan III Sobeski
enlarged and improved it, later making it into a residential palace.

During the Stone Age the first settlers here were Greek seamen and fishermen.

Today there are 1500 people still residing in the village.
