Hello Bob & Joe,
no way southwest of Lemberg [Lwiw]. This region was part of the kingdom 
of Galicia, Austria at that time, not of the Russian empire!
There was another Dębinka [pronounced Dombinka, = little oak wood] which 
belonged to the Skurcze catholic parish, Łuck decanate - but probably 
there have been much more little oak woods in Volhynia. ;-)
