Hello,

I recently began researching a branch of my husband's family (surnames: Stankiewicz and Furman) and am having extreme difficulty with the names of the towns and regions. I have a couple of documents that are extremely old and fragile with family information on them, written in Latin and Polish, respectively. They are difficult to read, but I would like to provide what I have in hopes that someone may recognize the names.

The family was from Poland/Austria/Galicia (depending on the source), specifically the region of Tarnopol. One document is a document from the church with the following information:

Districtus: Luatat (?)
Parochia: Hatuszczynce (?)

The document also lists a town that I have come across in other documents but cannot locate on a map. Transcribed to the best of my ability, it looks like "Romanove Lioto".

A second document lists the county (powiecie) of Zbarnskim (?). Again, my apologies, because I know these spellings are incorrect. This document lists the religion of the family, with there being two distinct ones. The first says "greek katol." - an abbreviation for Greek Catholic perhaps? The second looks like "rzysn. katol." - an abbreviation for Russian Catholic?

I thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this.

Appreciatively,
Leigh
