- Borszczów Landsmanshaft (Including a list of burial society plots in the New York metropolitan area) . The Erste Borszczower Kranken Untershtitsung Verein [The First Borchover Sick Benefit Society] was founded in 1897. The aim of the society was to support sick and needy members and establish 'brotherly friendship and behavior amongst its members'. Landsmanshaftn, including the Erste Borszczower Kranken Unt.

These include plots of landsmanshaftn, synagogues, family circles, fraternal organizations and labor unions. The following Borszczów Landsmanshaft plots are listed:

Borszczów was the seat of the Borszczów Administrative District (AD).The Borszczów AD included the following Judicial / Tax Districts (JD):
Changes in ADs and JDs occurred during different periods of time. ADs and JDs were designated by the Austrian Government in 1877 for the purpose of collecting Jewish birth, marriage and death records. By 1906 and until 1914. (the end of Austrian rule) new ADs and JD's were added and / or changed. A further change occurred during the interwar years (1918 -1939). This is reflected here and on the shtetl pages included in the Suchostaw Region Research Group. You will notice that, at times, more than one AD or JD is listed for a shtetl with the note: 'depending on the time period'.
