Hi Gilberto,

I would give you a big hug if I could for helping me! I am going to order up the films. I am very excited to see if I can find my people now. I guess I just needed to come to the rignt place and ask for help. For some reason I couldn't understand the different partitions, even after extensive reading of the history on my part. Again you have been very kind to help me.

Christine

Christine,

At the time of the partitions, there were two Podgrodzie in what was then Galicia:
one in gmina Rohatyn (now Ukraine), whose films are listed in LDS database under Podgrodzie (Halicz, Rohatyn, Stanislawow);
the other in gmina Ropczyce (now gmina Debica, in Poland), whose films are listed in LDS database under Debica https://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=topicdetails&subject=638864&subject_disp=Austria%2C+Galizien%2C+D%26%23x119%3Bbica+%28D%26%23x119%3Bbica%29+-+Church+records&columns=*,0,0.

The former covers greek-catholic records, whereas the later covers roman-catholic ones.

Hi Gilberto,

Thank you for your response. On my grandfathers manifest it says he came from Podgrodzie, Austria. On his WW I draft registration card it says Podgrodzie Poland Austria & on the U.S. 1920 Federal Census it says Poland Austria [Galicia] [Galicia / Galizien / Halychyna]. So would the information be on Podgrodzie (Halicz), or Podgrodzie (Rohatyn) film or am I not on the right track??

I am confused about the correct name, should it be Podgrodzie or Pogrodzie? All of the information I have has it spelled with the "d" in it.

Thank you,
Christine

Christine,

First of all, you would have to determine which Podgrodzie is the correct one, because there are 3 villages with this name.
LDS website list some records for differente places in https://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localityhitlist&columns=*%2C0%2C0&PLACE=podgrodzie&PARTOF=&prePLACE=podgrodzie&prePARTOF= (by the way, the first Podgrodzie is misspelled. The correct name is Pogrodzie and I am pretty aware because I have viewed those films. Neukirch-Hohe.

Hi,
I've been reading on this site for several months. I have been looking for the Chruch/Parish that would be around or in the village of Podgrodzie. I've been trying to find any records on my great grandfather, his father & mother and brothers & sisters. I do have name's & birth dates, but I would like to get the documents of when they were married and where they are buried. Most of them came over, but my great granfather, great grandmother, one son and one daughter never came.

I had given up on finding any more information on them as I have gone to The Church of Jesus Christ Later Day Saints satalite center here in town and they had no records for Podgrodzie. They told me that they may have been lost in one of the wars. Then just lately I had recieved some information from a distant cousin by accident, and was sent a list of names and dates of my family from this person. I have emailed this person over and over and asked where they had gotten this information. On the bottom of the list it says "all of this information is from Podgrodzie". I was even sent a document, birth/baptisum, of an uncle which would have been my grandfather's brother, and on the top of the document it says "Podgrodzie".

Can any one help me here please?

And thank you for having this site, it has been a wealth of information.

Christine
