Hania and Jim,
I found 5 towns that sound like Wisniewczyk.
(1) Vishnevchik (Vishnevchik, WiĆniowczyk, Vyshnivchyk, Vis'niovchik, Vishnivchik) at 4914 2522,
(2) Vyshnivchyk (Wisiowczyk) at 4942 2445, a very small village,
(3) Vyshnivchyk at 4901 2628 (but this town seems to be just east of the Galicia border),
(4) Vishnevets 4954 2545 13.9 miles south of Kremenets and about 13 miles north of Ternopol; source http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets/kre009.htmlhttp://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets/kre009.html
(5) Wisnowiec Nowy (Vishnevets, Wisnowiec, Wishnowitz, Wishnewitz, Wisnewitz) at 4933 2535 (these coordinates are the those for Tarnopol, so it is unclear where this town really is. The source of the coordinate numbers is: http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/vishnevets/vishnevets.htmlhttp://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/vishnevets/vishnevets.html, which refers to the Louis Parnes biography "The Vanishing Generations" as its source.
My question is which of these towns is the one described in the Yizkar book and does anyone know the actual coordinates of the fifth town on my list?
