Unknown Facts from the Life of Zofia Lissa and her Closest Family

Abstract
During my work on the film Wielkie Galicjanki (‘Great Galician women’), devoted to women born in the historical territory of Galicia (Halychyna) at the turn of the twentieth century and associated with the city of Vienna, I came across documents and information concerning the life of the eminent Lviv-born Polish musicologist Zofia Lissa, held in Austrian, Ukrainian and Polish archives.
These sources mostly concern her childhood and youth. The numerous previously unknown or unpublished documents described in this article have made it possible to reveal or revise information relating to Zofia, as well as her parents, sister, grandparents and relatives on her mother’s side, and also to the period preceding her birth. Most importantly, my archive research has made it possible to correct the hitherto inaccurately given date of Zofia Lissa’s birth.
