Suchostaw Region Research Group (SRRG)

Shtetlach of the Suchostaw region
(general information)

The Suchostaw Region Research Group includes all shtetlach within the following Administrative Districts (AD) and Judicial /Tax Districts (Sub-Districts) (JD):

All Galician shtetlach in which a Suchostaw Region Research Group (SRRG) member has a family link are included here. New shtetlach will be added when members find a family link to a new shtetl in our area of research.

If your shtetl does not have a webpage help us create one by sending us material, anecdotes, memories, family photos, postcard, travelogues, etc… 

Coordinates: Latitude - Longitude: are listed in accordance with the US Board on Geographic Names (US BGN.) and as found in the JewishGen ShtetlSeeker. The coordinates found in some maps may differ from those found in ShtetlSeeker. None are more or less correct than the other. Different criteria were used to arrive at these coordinates. Several factors contribute to the slight differences. Coordinates have been calculated from the center of the "old" village or the current center. The differences are very slight and close enough to help with locating the shtetl on a map.

Shtetl names are listed by their Galician names, i.e. the names used during the rule of the Austro Hungarian Empire. The current name is listed in accordance with the US Board on Geographic Names (US BGN.) and as found in Where Once We Walked (WOWW).

Variant names include all the different spellings found in ShtetlSeeker and publications such as WOWW also the Yiddish "sound" of how a shtetl was pronounced by a relative.

Administrative Districts (AD) are based on the ADs created by the Austrian Government in 1877. However, between 1896 and 1914 there were changes made and some shtetlach became part of a different AD. To reflect this and facilitate research, if there is more than one AD for a shtetl, both are given. The same criteria applies to Judicial / Tax Districts (sub-districts).
