I am searching the family name of Lizon-Mohyla

I am searching the family name of Lizon, grandfather Simon(Samuel) Lizon came in 1904 to Canada, he came from Pzrzemysl. He had been in Austria-Prussian army. Wife was Mary Smola from Tarnogora ,believe she was born in Czech.A cousin Michael Lizon had came earlier from Junilina ?? where this is.

As well, looking for Jacob Mohyla and Eva(Kozak) Mohyla from Chotyneic, Western Ukraine. came to Canada in June 1907.
Believe this area was Galacia at that time, now places are in Poland.

Hoping someone can help me.

LIZOŃ - from verb lizać (to lick); lizoń = flatterer, sycophant, brown-noser (in modern Polish lizus).

MOHYLA - Ukrainian form of mogiła (grave, mound).

NOTE: There are places in Poland called Julin and Julinki but I couldn’t find Junilina. SE Poland under Austrian rule till 1918 was known as Galicja.

I have seen several of your posts in many places on internet, consistently misspeling the name PRZEMYŚL (Polish), PRZEMYSL (anglicized), Перемишль (Ukrainian), or Peremyshl' (Ukrainian with English transliteration). Pzrzemysl does not fit to any of these patterns.


Surname Lizoń is reasonably popular in Poland; 1480 persons bear this name. They mostly live in the southern belt of Poland. About 1/4 of them live in town and county of Nowy Sącz.


Smola is a Czech and Slovak name. Polish variation is Smoła (L with stroke). It may be also a Jewish Ashkenazi name. There are only 38 persons with surname Smola in Poland. However, there are 1978 persons named Smoła (with L with stroke.) Take a look at this map: these people are concentrated in several SE counties, including Nowy Sącz, Gorlice, Tarnów, Leżask. The top ten counties are listed in right lower corner of the map.


There are two Tarnogóra places in Poland, and none of Tarnogora in Czech Republic or Slovakia.
The first one would be very likely related with someone of Jewish origin:
Village Tarnogóra, Gmina Izbica, Kranystaw County, Lublin Voivodship, Poland
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarnog%C3%B3ra_(wojew%C3%B3dztwo_lubelskie)

Izbica was exclusively inhabited by Jews, until WW1. A town had no parish church. During WW2 it was a place of martyrdom of many local and foreign Jews, mostly Czech Jews. Many were sent to Belzec, Majdanek and Sobibór from there.

Second choice:
Village Tarnogóra, Gmina Nowa Sarzyna, Leżajsk County, Subcarpathian Voivodship, pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarnog%C3%B3ra_(wojew%C3%B3dztwo_podkarpackie)


You misspelled the village name. It is Chotyniec (Polish), Хотинець (Ukrainian), Khotynets' (transliterated from Ukrainian to English).
The exact location:
Chotyniec, Gmina Radymno, Jarosław County, Subcarpathian Voivodhip, SE Poland, right on the border with Ukraine, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chotyniec
