Well, Prokop is definitely not Polish, but Natalia could be any of the three.
I hope you know that at the time you are referring to the countries of Poland and Ukraine did not exist. Their territories were divided between the Hapsburg and Russian empires and kinda overlapped. In that sense, your ancestors might have identified themselves as Polish, while living in Ukraine/the Russian empire.
