If they spoke Polish they came from the territory of Galicia which Austria lost in 1920. Since that time some of Galicia has become the southernmost part of Poland or the westernmost part of Ukraine. And that is where any documents are. The key to the puzzle is knowing the EXACT place they came from. If they came thru' Ellis Island there is a chance the ship manifest says what there hometown was.
