Hi Areta, I just randomly found your incredible blog! It overlaps so much with my interests and background that I’d love to buy you a coffee and chat! Are you still in Lviv? Keep on doing what you’re doing, it’s great!

Hi Nina,
Thank you for your comment. I too have ancestors from Kamianka Buska. In case you haven’t seen it, here is a post about them: http://forgottengalicia.com/evolution-of-metrical-records-in-galicia-1760-1830/
Is your artwork available online for viewing? Sounds like an interesting project,
Areta

Hi Areta,
I LOVE your blog site, especially the old postcards of Przemysl and the ghost signs of Lviv. My maternal family branch is from Dynow, and paternal branch from Kamianka Buskya (formerly Kamionka Strumilowa). I’ve travelled to Poland and Ukraine since 2013. I am a painter and created a series of paintings, “Faces of Dynow” based on my family and current townspeople.

Keep up the great work!
Regards,
Nina
