P.S. TO PETE:
My husband also went to Polish Grammar School....Saint Casimirs.
His grandparents were also from Poland but their towns are now in Ukraine. Lviv/Lwow.
Rzezow I think is still in Poland. The borders changed so much since it was POLAND, then AUSTRIA HUNGARY, THEN divided again after WWII.
My Ukrainain grandmother's village is now in Podkarpackie Poland......but when she came as a 14 year old orphan from Poliany Surovichyny SANOK (Sianik) it was in Austria Hungary (as Ukraine did not exist) but she knew what she was as a "White Russian" but not a Russian....a Rusyn from Keiven Rus (....Ruthenian....now called Ukrainian)..........she lived near the Carpathian Mountains.
