I've done a bit more looking at Habkowce, Lisko, Galicia. It's in a portion of Galicia that is considered to be Carpatho-Rusyn or Lemko territory.

That area is often lumped in with the rest of Ukraine, but the people who lived there consider themselves to be a separate group.

Take a look at these sites:

Here's a map of the Carpatho-Rusyn area:

As far as the Jewish community in Galicia goes, they were a prominent minority and constituted a significant portion of the population in some areas, so you're bound to run across them as you do your research.
