Hello everyone, first time poster. Starting to look into my polish heritage. I've been having a lot of difficulty locating a place of birth listed on the attached US world war 1 registration card. It reads something like "Hrzowka Brzozow Austria Galicia". I can't find anything on the internet called "Hrzowka." There's a town called Brzozow, but I'm not sure that's it. Maybe Brzozow was an administrative subdivision of the austrian empire? I can't find anything at all called Hrzowka. Anyways, totally lost here. Does anyone know what city/town this is?

Maybe it is the village of Hroszówka in the romancatholic parish of Mrzygłód, relatively not so far from Brzozów. The surname Dańczyszyn appears in this parish.

Thank you. How did you know that the surname Dańczyszyn appears in that parish?

I have checked it in the list of births and marriages that is available on-line for this parish.
