More Detail for IWANIW Surname

Although I've come across others who are doing research into their Iwaniw family, I still have not made any connection between our families. Info that I have:
My father, Theodor, was born in Lutowiska in Galacia, now part of Poland. His father's name was Michajlo (Michael) and did spend a few years here in the US. I believe that it might have been around 1912 because I did find a Michajlo Iwaniw on the Ellis Island record site showing someone by that name came through Ellis Island in November of that year. But I can't confirm that it is my grandfather. Information that I have is that he spent the years in the US in Wilkes-Barre PA area.
Another branch of Iwaniw family, from Wilkes-Barre shows no direct connection to my family branch, but the researcher does have documentation showing that their great-grandfather did receive some money from someone who might have been my great-grandfather (I don't believe that there were more then 1 Wasyl Iwaniw in Lutowiska, Ukriane).
I haven't started to write to any archives in Ukraine or Poland because I don't have any information as to which ones to write to. Any information would be appreciated.
