Dear Zev:

All Galician researchers should be searching both the All Galicia Database (AGD) brought to you by Gesher Galicia and the JRI-Poland database https://www.jri-poland.org/jriplweb.htm. The JRI-Poland database includes over one million Galician records that are mostly not duplicated on the AGD. Wolkowce Jewish vital events were registered in nearby Borszczow. If you search the JRI-Poland database for town = Wolkowce, the results will return about 400 matches. If you search for KOHN and town of Wolkowce, there are 86 matches. The JRI-Poland database includes the following records for Borszczow: 1872-1898, 1901-1912 B; 1846/1864, 1866-1929 M; 1877-1910 D. The 1914 B records are at the Warsaw civil records office (Urzad Stanu Cywilnego) and become available to the public once transferred to the AGAD Archive. They are likely to be transferred in 2020 or 2021. Wishing you success in your search. Mark Halpern Gesher Galicia Advisory Board JRI-Poland AGAD Archive Coordinator

My father was born in the village of Wolkowce, near the town of Borszczow in the Tarnopol region, in May 1914. In Yiddish it was called Wolkowitz and at the time it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After WWI it reverted to Poland and after WWII 'landed' in the Ukraine. I have found no records pertaining to the village and to the few Jewish families who lived there. I would appreciate any information relating to the village. Does anyone know where birth certificates and/or other official documentation for this location might be found? Zev Cohen
