Hello,
I can see your question in http://www.polishroots.com/surnames, I can only confirm that Gwizdow in "woj. Lubelskie" (current: Lubelskie province / voivodship) – was _not_ in Galizia, but in “zabor rosyjski”. You can see the border between Austrian and Russian empires on this map:

It's a 200K Austrian map, from approx 1910, please note it is a heavy download, approx 70Mb. If you want to see it, don't try to paste the link into your browser because it will freeze, use a (free) download manager software, something like free download manager or other.
alternatively try this map, less detailed, but much lighter download

btw, in case you haven't noticed, 25K map of Gwizdow (black+white) is here:
