Hi, I found the town were some of my family originates from. Specifcally, Polana, Bieszczady County, Subcarpathia, Poland. This is the town I believe where my family was from. if not, all I know is it was Polana, Austria in 1910. Any ideas?
do you think they have internet there?

Hi Trevor,

There are internet pages about it in Polish:Polana (it means glade). Here is something in English Polana, Bieszczady County
Is there any specific information you are looking for?

I have to say, because the place you are looking for means 'glade', there could be more than one. The Bieszczady are a long mountain range in the south east of Poland.

This could be got to do with the Partitions of Poland between Russia, Germany and Austria. But I am not sure about the year 1910.
