All places Milkow, Oleszyce
Research notes The Milkow, from where my grandfather, Dmytro Hlek, hailed from is beside Oleszyce where his birth records are.  It is near Lubaczow,
Podkarpackie, Poland, its geographical coordinates are 50° 12' 0" North,
22° 53' 0" East and its original name (with diacritics) is Miłków. 

Milkow
is a
predominatly Ruthenian/Ukrainian village (wies). 

Cieszanow

was the Powiat (administrative district - county) and

Lubaczow
was the Gmina.  His father (either Gregory or Harry Hlek) died when he was a boy, and I am wondering how - was there an uprising in that area?  My grandfather was born in 1891, so I am wondering what happened there around 1899 or so.
