Hi,

I have been looking at church records (1787-1859) from the Bircza Parish near Przemysl. Two places I have come across are Bruchnal and Drohobycz. I am struggling to locate these places on a map. All I have found is that Drohobycz may now be in the Ukraine. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

I'll check out that web site.

Hi,

From the Gazeteer on the site you mentioned, I have found out that Bruchnal is part of the Jaworow parish and is 8 kilometers south-east of Jaworow (which is halfway between Jaroslaw and Lwow. Jaworow is now called Yavoriv and is in the Ukraine, while Bruchnal is now called Ternovytsya.

On the 1908 map of Eastern Hungary and Galicia, I found Drohobycz, south-west of Przemysl. It is now known as Drohobych and is in the Ukraine.

Thanks for your help.

Richard.
