i thought the war was over in 1945?
It means you have to read a lot about those times. One tip: do not judge too early.
As a starting point you can use an exception from the book "Cisna. Slownik Historyczno-Krajoznawczy" telling the story of Wetlina, other *****ge more or less in the same area as Kulaszne. Read only the "History" section, it's rather short. You'll find there the acronyms like NKWD, UPA and others. The history of all *****ges in that area after WWII was similar, I guess the story of Kulaszne was like the story of Wetlina.
This article will give you the idea how that's possible that your ancestor was shot in 1946 but it'll not explain the reasons. If you're interested you'll find a lot articles about post-war fights in todays south-eastern Poland. Read relations of both sides of the fights if you want to be neutral. It may be difficult, since your ancestor was shot then...
So, do the homework ;-) and in case of questions come back. We'll try to help you, but I'm afraid we'll not give you the answers to all the questions. We're rather tourists than historians.

I have an article from September 2006, where a Greek Catholic (orthodox?) church burnt down in Komancza - is there more than one greek catholic church in the area?
Originally built as a greek catholic,
several years after world war II taken over by orthodox church
(as the greek catholic church was illegal in Poland ruled by communists)
now not far to be reconstructed:
http://forum.bieszczady.info.pl/show...1978#post61978
(greek catholics in Komancza have own new church now - but built also with elements of an old one from another *****ge)
There is still a number of east rite churches (tserkvas/tserkovs) in south east Poland,
both: orthodox and greek catholic.
(as well as former tserkvas used now by roman catholics
...and even by all 3 mentioned communities commonly)
I've given you these contacts, as in Kulaszne there is a greek catholic parish.

Do you recommend i write to both priests? [...]type of information the church keeps? (birth, marriage, death information?)
Normally they keep this range of information, however I realy don't know,
whether parish books survived.
(this area has really interesting history; maybe a bit to interesting)
I am not sure, if the priest speak english, either
- but I think, you should try to explore these sources.
And first of all - please study lemko.org carefully
and consider contact Lemko's organizations in Poland mentioned there.
Good luck - kindest regards,
Kuba
