Re: Vaniovice, Galicia? #galicia #ukraine

Gesher Galicia's Galician Town Locator
(https://www.geshergalicia.org/galician-town-locator/) lists a good
possibility -- Waniowice, in the Jewish administrative district of
Sambor. Chances are that it's the place that Google Maps calls
Van'ovychi and the JewishGen Gazetteer lists as Van’ovitse -- about 5
miles southwest of Sambor/Sambir, Ukraine.

Both the All Galicia Database (https://search.geshergalicia.org) and
Jewish Records Indexing-Poland (jri-poland.org) have records for this
town.
