Hello Elly,
Brzeżany [now Berezany] was a district capital in the former Austrian 
"Kronland Galizien", not in Russian Poland. But I can't find any Dunaj 
od Dunaje nearby.
A Francziszek MAZURKIEWICZ lived in Wiktorówka near Kozowa [Kozova], 
Brzeżany district. This Wiktorówka is 20 km east of Brzeżany. About 
halfway between them is a village Dubszcze [now Dybsce]. This is the 
most similar name I can find in the environment of Brzeżany.
