Luzka, Dolnogo, Poland - Help with Polish Geography?

Hello! I have just begun researching my genealogy and found that I have polish ancestry on my father's side of the family. On immigration records, one of my ancestors listed their last foreign residence as Luzka, Dolnogo, Poland. The other ancestor I have, listed his last foreign residence as Bronyicza, Poland. The immigration paper was filled out in 1940 and my ancestors immigrated to the U.S in 1906.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me information about where these cities are located in modern geography. I have tried searching google and ancestry, and have not had any luck.

Thanks for your help!

I think it comes from '(z) Luzka Dolnego' which literally means 'from Luzek Dolny' - now a village in Ukraine. Historically it was inhabited by a lot of people of Polish origin. It is close to Drohobych and 'from Drohobych' would be 'z Drohobycza' so the names might have been mispelt.

pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolny_%C5%81u%C5%BCek -there's an English version of this Wiki page, too, although there is not much information given either in English or Polish.
