You need to understand that history of A-H empire. Up to 1918 all records for our ancestors would say either Austria or Hungary or both. Yours said Austria/Galicia. Galicia is part in Poland and part in Ukraine. I think I gave you the map:

Your ancestors were Ruthenian aka Byzantine Catholic (right?) The village is in Poland.
In Poland's archive some Polany's church records:

Check LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) site

You can confirm his information by requesting his SS-5Form http://ssdi.rootsweb.com naturalization petition if he was naturalized, draft registration form for WWl, state marriage application and church marriage record.
