Genealogy / Trying to find any information about a town called Niskoleze - Polish spelling unverified [10]

I am trying to research my family history and have found a link to a town "Niskoleze" from before the 2nd world war. I think it now forms part of Ukraine. Does anyone know the correct polish spelling or even some history of the town or what it's called now.

Unfortunately I am not sure my spelling is 100% correct so am unable to find any links etc via Google.

Any help is appreciated!

So all I've been told is that name, no one can confirm the spelling for it. From what I remember being told it was in the south east of what was Poland before 1949. During that time the family was forcibly moved by the Russians who took over the farming land.

(Phonetically spelled as best I can is Niz-ko-wiz-eh) :)

Unfortunately that is all I know :(

Hi All,

So I have managed to find a little bit more information out. The town was near Tarnopol? (This is now in Ukraine) I assume my grandparents were moved in part of the Polish population transfers (1944-1946). They moved all the way accross Poland to a small town called Nowogród Bobrzański, which used to be German.

I will keep trying to find out some more information and I have tried to search on old maps, but for the town, but without the correct spelling its tough :D
