At the top of my family tree is the name Reb Yaakov Koppel Lukower (also Likover). He was from Klonimum and lived in Lukova near Tarnow, where he was laid to rest 15 Adar 5529 (or 1769) . The text of his tombstone was copied from the book PNEJ IZCHAK. At least some of his children took the surname Olbom, specifically Reb Yisroel Leib Olbom (c.1740-1812) and Shlomo Olbom. Is it possible that in addition to your illustrious ancestor Reb Yaakov Koppel Chassid of Kolomaya there was another Reb Yaakov Koppel (also from Kolomaya?)

They were 2 separate known holy Tzadikim, with tons of stories told about each one separately he lived in kolomaia and the likover tzadik lived in lukava, they were talmidim (decipels) of different rabbis
