Are you only looking for Byzantine Catholic Saints – that is Saints who are post-schism from the Byzantine Church; or any Saint listed on the Byzantine Calendar (which may be common to every Church)?

Well here are the names and bio’s of two married Ukrainian Greek-Catholic priests (martyred) who were beatified by Venerable JPII on a trip to Ukraine in 2001. Both died martyrs for the faith and are just one step so to speak away from Sainthood, which would be wonderful should it happen:
"Blessed Priest and Martyr Roman Lysko was born on August 14, 1914, in the town of Horodok, Lviv Region. He studied theology at the Lviv Theological Academy. Together with his wife he gladly taught youth. He was ordained a priest by Metropolitan A. Sheptytsky on August 28, 1941. On September 9, 1949, he was arrested by the NKVD and put in the jail on Lonts’kyj Street in Lviv. Rumors spread that the young Fr. Roman went insane because of torture and in jail sang psalms at the top of his voice. It was also said that he was sealed alive in a wall. On October 14, 1949, he died.
Blessed Priest and Martyr Mykola Tsehel’skyj was born on December 17, 1896, in the village of Strusiv, Ternopil’ Region. In 1923 he graduated from the theology faculty of Lviv University. On April 5, 1925, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky ordained him a priest. He was a zealous pastor, and cared for the spirituality, education and welfare of the faithful. He was the pastor of the village of Soroka, in the Hrymalivs’kyj deanery, where he built a church. Mass repressions began after the war. The priest suffered intimidation, threats and beatings to the end. On October, 28, 1946, he was arrested and on January 27, 1947, the military tribunal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ternopil’ Region sentenced him to 10 years’ imprisonment. Afterwards he was taken to the camps in Mordova, leaving his wife, two sons and two daughters. He lived in terrible conditions in a camp of severe regime in the village of Yavas (Pot’ma station). He suffered from great intestinal pains. On May 25, 1951, he died and was buried in the cemetery of the Pot’ma station."

Both of these martyrs were married priests and, as I said, could become saints.

This has been* extremely* helpful! 
I am concentrating on married priests because I know someone who is having a hard time with the thought that a married person, especially a married priest, could achieve the sanctity of the Saints. I was looking for those in the Eastern Rite (I know may not be correct word now–), because I know many married Saints in the Roman Rite who stayed married and yet became Saints or are Beatified.
Thank you very much. If anyone thinks of some more fine. If not, I have what I want. The websites were extremely helpful also… I didn’t know JPII made so many venerable from WWII communist days… I am very glad. I heard many stories as a child.
FYI: there are two books out there called The Hidden and Finding a Hidden Church by Fr. Christopher Zugger, one about the suffering Church under communist rule in the USSR and the other about the survival of the Greek Catholic Church in Transcarpathia.
Again thank you. I will peek here the next couple of days just in case!
