I need some help figuring out where to look for late 19th century records (vital, church) for the Opar Family in the town of Stężnica (administrative district of Lisko, judicial district of Baligród, Galicia region, Austro-Hungarian Empire). Several members of the family immigrated to the United States in the first decade of the 20th century. How can I find out whether any records for that town have been microfilmed or digitized, or where I can write to request record.

Much appreciated!

Thanks so much for replying. I forgot to mention that the family in question most likely was Greek-Orthodox - my error. So the Roman Catholic will not be helpful. Otherwise I would have taken you up on your offer.

they have some records from other confesions, so we may try.
