they could live in PL at that time and wherever, if there were funds to resettle. But it wasn't a time when folks could save much, ukies or polies, just as well

my great grandmother born before ww1 was from greater poland and her surname is a Ukrainian one ''pawluk''
was it common for Ukrainians to settle in all parts of poland?

it wasn't common for one simple reason - farmers (or peasants) were poor people and pretty tied to their land (if they had enough to feed themselves)

The Poles were poor and the Ukrainians were far poorer. My father talked about it, the Ukrainians were in battle to eat never mind going on country tours.

Also, in the south east, borders moved, not people.
