Research Assistance

I’ve been digging into my ancestry and run into some roadblocks when it comes to non-US records. I’ve gone through parish records (family search) and contacted archives in Ukraine, but still lack some key information/records. The information I’m missing is a combination of birth/marriage/death records. Any help would be much appreciated.

Michael Holowiecki (looking for: birth/baptism record) Born: 1894, Obertyn Austria-Hungry (became Poland, today Ukraine) *State Archive of Ivano-Frankivsk indicated no record exists but they found birth records for his sisters born 1891 & 1896. Religion: likely Roman Catholic

Francisca Holowiecka/Kilar (looking for: marriage/death records) Born: April, 1856, Obertyn (I found this record in parish records) Marriage with Basilius: ? Death: 1932, Obertyn Religion: Roman Catholic

Basilius Holowiecki (looking for: birth/marriage/death records) Born 1853? Marriage with Francisca: ? Death: 1899, Obertyn Religion: ?

For added context if it wasn’t clear: Michael is the son of Francisca and Basilius.

It’s possible these records were destroyed, lost, or simply don’t exist but I appreciate any help.
