If you go to LDS Library

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp

Place search - enter town and Country.
Click on the blue search result.
Then the blue reference.
Click one of the subjects to get Archival record.
On top RHS click on "view film notes"
These will give you the film no you need for those records which can be ordered from LDS centre to view.
This sounds complicated but it's not.

Remember Ukraine was divided between Poland and Austria at various times.

The notes on each of above pages can be useful. They usually tell you what language the archives are in! You may need an interpretor

Do you know the religion of the people concerned? If Jewish, there are a number of sites I could suggest...
