                                      Do you mean the Greek Catholic records online? Access is restricted:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;quote&quot;&gt;This image is viewable:• When using the site at a family history center.  &lt;br /&gt;
•To signed-in members of supporting organizations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt; Records only for 1836-1860.&lt;br /&gt;
For the microfilms, the procedurę is:&lt;br /&gt;
1) find film numbers in the Library catalog,&lt;br /&gt;
2) order films online for transmittal to a Family History Center of your choice,&lt;br /&gt;
3) view films at that center and make selected copies. Usually there is an index to search at the end of each block of records.&lt;br /&gt;
Order form:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://familysearch.org/films/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://familysearch.org/films/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To find your local Family History Center:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://familysearch.org/locations/centerlocator&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://familysearch.org/locations/centerlocator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Note that, due to privacy laws,  access to newer records (about less than 100 years) is restricted. If you are a relative, ask how you can access them.</description>

Hello Henryk&lt;br /&gt;
I have tried to get into these with no luck.  Is there a special way of getting into them to find what name I am looking for?&lt;br /&gt;

I have been told by Weronika's daughter who is 86 now that her mother Weronika was born in Kopanki, Poland but back in 1909 it was in what is now the Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
Can anyone help me with this.  Her parents were Antoni Kaczmarczyk &amp;amp; ? Zawada.  We don't know her first name as she died at the birth of Weronika.  Antoni remarried that year or 1910 to Zofia Koc but I don't know where.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Hello Diane,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the old geography book from circa 1880-1900,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_IV/374&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://dir.icm.edu.pl/Slownik_geograficzny/Tom_IV/374&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Kopanki (or Kopanka) was a village in powiat kałuski&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powiat_ka%C5%82uski_%28Galicja%29&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powiat_ka%C5%82uski_%28Galicja%29&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
with Roman-Catholic parish in Kałusz and Greco-Catholic in Mościska (village Mościska very close to Kałusz)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wiki page have an old map from 1889.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka%C5%82usz&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka%C5%82usz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On today maps:&lt;br /&gt;
Kalouch, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraina&lt;br /&gt;
Kopanky, Ivano-Frankivs'ka oblast, Ukraina&lt;br /&gt;
(less than 8 km)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Old Polish map from 1921:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mapywig.org/m/WIG_maps/series/100K_300dpi/4373_KALUSZ_i_HALICZ_IWG_1921_300dpi.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.mapywig.org/m/WIG_maps/series/100K_300dpi/4373_KALUSZ_i_HALICZ_IWG_1921_300dpi.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The archives in Ukraina are, at last for me, a mistery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They have a website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archives.gov.ua/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.archives.gov.ua/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I put &amp;quot;Kałusz&amp;quot; in the top right fild, just below a date (format dd.mm.yyyy), then click on &amp;quot;пошук&amp;quot; below, get 3 references of very huge documents. The first is about methodology. The second an index of what they have up to 1939 (titles are in Ukrainian and Polish, it includes quite a large spectra, police, courts, etc.). And the third seems to me a copy from Polish archives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Powiat Kałusz. Коди. Період. Види документів, пошукові дані (фонди, описи, справи). Примітки. A. 1900–1905 р. н. Короткі списки осіб, які ухилялися від ...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==&lt;br /&gt;
I have no idea how to get from there to birth or marriage records from Kałusz.&lt;br /&gt;

                                      Hello&lt;br /&gt;
I have been told by Weronika's daughter who is 86 now that her mother Weronika was born in Kopanki, Poland but back in 1909 it was in what is now the Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
Can anyone help me with this.  Her parents were Antoni Kaczmarczyk &amp;amp; ? Zawada.  We don't know her first name as she died at the birth of Weronika.  Antoni remarried that year or 1910 to Zofia Koc but I don't know where.&lt;br /&gt;
