Stratyn, in Galicia, now western Ukraine

Surnames: Yanish, Kondrach, Kundrat, Havrilla
My wife's grandfather was born and Baptized/Confirmed in Stratyn in January of 1896. He is Byzantine Catholic although I believe at that time they were referred to as Greek Catholic. He was sent to America to escape the political strife of the area and arrived in New York in 1912. His name in America is Michael Yanish. His last name has been spelled Janos (citizenship papers)and Janusz (passenger lists). His parents are Nicholas Yanish/Janos/Janusz and Simka Ketershic. Is there any way I can find info on this family in Eastern Europe that will not cost me an arm and a leg? Any research help would be greatly appreciated. It is said that many of his family were murdered by the Bolsheviks.
