With assistance of relatives in Ukraine I have located the village of Rizdviany on Google Earth. It is a small village on the Dnister river between villiages of Martyniv to the NW and futher to the SE is the Halych in the Ivan-Frankivsk region. So very small. Shansiw seems to appear in some Russian texts as a name whne Shansiw is googled but unable to make much more. It certain could well be spelled otherways as I would presume much spelling of foreign name for British passports may likely been done phonetically. I should try to obtain the original Ukrainian spelling.
