Can I assume that he was born there between 1918 and 1945, during the Second Polish Republic? If so, Basziw is probably in western Ukraine now if the church there was Greek Catholic. The most likely town name I can find while searching in western Ukraine is Bashova (башова), a village which is 19 kilometres northwest of Lutsk. There is also Bakhiv (6 kilometres northeast of Kovel), and Bachiv (55 kilometres southeast of Lviv), but I think Bashova is the most likely, the change from -iv to -ova between Polish and Ukrainian is quite possible. <br /><br />Basziw could also now be in eastern Lithuania (also part of Poland from 1918-1939), if so the current town name could be very different since Lithuanian isn't a Slavic language. <br /><br />If you have any other information about the village or the church itself it could help narrow the search.<br /><br />cheers,<br />Geoff<br /> Goulash Trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469376520091036889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120756111191905621.post-29189027276805942262019-10-31T16:22:14.393-07:002019-10-31T16:22:14.393-07:00Greetings!

This was where my father was born and baptized. If anyone knows anything, I would so appreciate it.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />Karen SmigelskaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175435235942182828noreply@blogger.com
