I am puzzled by <born near polish border towns>.

I have found two possibilities using Shtetlseeker.

PODOROZHNA (still exists today @ 49.48 - 28.16 on current map) 108.8 miles WSW of Kiev

The other PODOROZHNA is near Stryj , but there is no Berdichev in area. There is a Bolichev. As you will see by the map below, it is closer to Poland.

You state that Maria was displaced in 30's/40's. By whom? Maybe that will give us a clue to location.

What was Maria's religion?

According to Tanja's historical map:

Berdychiv/Berdichev (Zhytomyr Destrict)was not far from Polish border in the period 1921- December 1939.

Write the village mayor and inquire re family.
