A few Jewish families lived in Lanciunava during the middle of the 19th century and afterwards. Avraham-Nakhman Shvarts was born in Lanciunava in 1872. Subsequently, he was a Rabbi and a teacher in a small Yeshiva in Krakes, and a Rabbi in New Odessa in the Ukraine, in New London (in Connecticut) and in Baltimore, USA.
