My father was Humeniuk. My mother Michalkiw. Father came to Canada some time in the 1900's. Mother came in 1926. They came from a village called Lashkiw near Lvov. Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Russia? I know they were Ukrainian despite the change of borders.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone knowing of any relatives I may have in this area. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking to see if anyone has info on my grandmother's family...Garbera. There were: Katherine, Ivan, Antonina, Anastasia, Thecla (Tillie), all sisters and 1 brother. My great grandmother was Julia (last name begins with an H, I think)... and my great grandfather was Gregory Garbera. They lived in Galicia in the Ukraine. Katherine, Anastasia & Tecla migrated to America early 1900's.
My grandfather was Nicholas Sidorovich and he lived in Pinsk. I understand he had many brothers but I know nothing about his family!
Thanks.

I recently received a birth certificate for Frank Mihalec (my husband's Grandfather). Frank was born in Hazleton PA, USA in 1911 to Frank Mihalec and Sojia Patykuta both born in Zagagogow Galicyja. The family believes Frank came to America through Ellis Island in 1900-1910? The older members of the family will not talk of their backgrounds, so I am kind of stuck. Please help. I am also searching for FRANC - DUDEK believed to be from Mielec Poland? I do know that the younger Frank Mihalec changed the spelling of his last name at least twice. Birth Certificate - Frank Mihalec, Social Security application - Frank Mehallick, and Death Certificate - Frank Mehalick. Thanks, Sherry N. Mehalick mehalick$$$wt.net

I was born in Ukraine and lived there for a decade - then my family moved to Australia and now we're in Melbourne. In comparison between Melbourne and a great city such as Lviv, I have to admit the architecture there is very beautiful, it's both old yet stylish, European yet feels very much like home - well perhaps because it is - to me anyway - just like many others. The atmosphere created in Lviv is a very friendly and social one - everyone on the street always carries a smile and willing to help you out. Melbourne on the other hand uses more, I guess, plain/futuristic design in their architecture and that's why it creates a totally different feel to it - it's still a very nice city but it could never be as beautiful and stylish as Lviv.

My grandfather came to USA on 2/17/1911 he was 18 years old, name was Jan Merensky. My grandmother's name was Anelia Lobas, probably 18 years old when she entered USA. They lived in New York for many years. My grandfather's immigration papers state he came from Austria/Galicia. He entered the USA on the SS President Lincoln. My grandmother had a sister, I have a mailed envelope dated I think 1918. Her name looks like Julia Kolinost, Koszalin, ul lv nalka mpodych. My grandparents spoke Polish.

My grandfather, Stephan Huniak, came to the United States around 1932 at age 20, just as the Communists initiated the purge/famine that resulted in the deaths of 11 million Ukrainians (he died in 1977, having said very little about his family & Ukraine, apparently out of anguish). I am told his father, Nicholas, was sent to die in Siberia. His mother was consigned to poverty after their farm was seized by the government. Before this happened, the Huniak family was apparently able to migrate to the United States on a regular basis during the winters (for temporary work?). My grandfather was thus able to gain citizenship - he was born in Pheonixville, Pennsylvania in 1912 during one such trip. Everything else about this family is a mystery. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE HUNIAK FAMILY?

Subject: Galicia - Lemberg and area
Well... I had no idea that this place existed at the beginning of 1999. I was born in western Canada and paid very little attention to European history. I had no idea from where my family had come from other than Germany in the middle of Europe. The conflict in Kosovo and the news reports on CNN sparked an interest in my own unknown European roots. I relocated a Family Tree book from a one hundred year anniversary of the Hauser family's immigration to Canada in 1893 and on a map were places like Lemberg, Drohobycz, Neudorf, and Eassendorf highlighted. With the help of a regular atlas I located this part of the world and, being a novice with genealogy, have wasted hours trying to find the ship they came over on. In the process I have also chanced upon web pages like this one, this AM I downloaded some pictures of Lviv (Lemberg) and can hardly believe my eyes. It's like you all are walking around in a museum, I just can't believe the history and the architecture, just incredible. The cobblestone streets must be hard on cars? I now live in Calgary, AB., about the same population but the oldest building in the city is only about 100 years old. The towns Neudorf and Lemberg are also in Saskatchewan, Canada. It was about five miles out of Neudorf, SK., where Heinrick and Juliana Hauser homesteaded and raised their family. My sons Pat and Bob are now the fifth generation and there are now hundreds of us, about 30% in the US and 70% in Canada. Back to my roots search. The Hauser's were Lutheran and I think they emigrated to Galicia in the late 1700s or early 1800s from Palintine. Other names are: Father's side - Hauser/(Julianna) Rathberger. Mother's side - Molder/Ritter, but I don't know from where in Germany they came, yet. If there are any clues to help with this search, please contact.

Just a note to say that my family and I just returned from Lviv. It is far more beautiful than we ever expected! The people are warm and friendly - and the art, architecture and culture a true jewel! The purpose of our visit was to take my 87-year-old father-in-law "home." He was born in a village outside Lviv in 1912 and had not returned since 1939. His only living relative, a cousin, still lives in the village. Without running water, she prepared one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. The emotional experience of connecting to family was overwhelming for us all. While in Lviv, we stayed at The Grand Hotel which I would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to the city.

I am researching for a novel about a Scottish nanny employed by an aristocratic Polish family between 1887 and 1939 based on archive material of what I believe is a true story. One of their homes was a large estate near Lvov and close to a river. The house was very large and the estate included a stud for Lippinzaner horses. Is there any chance of identifying the house and the family and are any members or servants of the family still alive? Unfortunately, the material I have does not identify the family but I believe they were related to both Radziwill and Konopka families.

Half of my family came from the L'vov area between 1900-1911, a few at a time. Kamen Kashirsk was the largest city near their villages of Borke, Boroda and Kotoschowa. My grandfather was Feodor Swereduk and his forever bride was Lisavetta Malenchuk. Her sister Anastasia Malenchuk married Mr. Lettrenchuk. Other relatives nieces and nephews came over and settled near their home in the Chicago suburbs. Other surnames include Mundy, Duda and Milansky.
Feodor Swereduk had two other brothers who emigrated: Andron and Andrej. One went to Canada. One went back home to the Ukraine, homesick. Our Canadian cousin Mary visited the family in the Ukraine about ten years ago. She loved her trip and spoke highly of our relatives.

I am doing family research on my Father's immigration to the US in 1913, He was born in the Village of Tullyholovy near Lviv in 1891. They tell me the Sydor as a masculine name appears as Sydko, Sydorko and feminine name as Skydora or Sydorka, Isydora or Dorka. I understand from another research person there are a lot of Sydors in the Lviv phone book in 1998. We know that there were two Sydors who lived and owned property in Tulyholovy in 1786 (Yevstakhyi Sydor and Franko Sydor). In Sept. 20, 1838 a Rozalia Sydor was born to Jan Sydor the son of Ivan Sydor and Ignata Spiwak. The neighboring village of Zahoriv is also mentioned as the godparents were Matthew Gurazdowski and Teklia Jedrzycha both farmers from there.
I have a lot of information on my father from the time he left the port of Antwerp to date but nothing about the Village, his family, or the political situation at that time which prompted him to leave home in around 1911. Anyone with any input on these matters, please E Mail me.

Hello, Your guest page is very interesting and informative. Do keep up the good work. I am interested in locating the Village where my Grandfather Michael John Zatylny left with his wife Maria (nee Shewchuk) and daughter Martha for Canada on March 01,1901 through the Port of Hamburg. They left in a group of 15 adults and 13 children from a Village of Betkiwci. I also understand that there may be variations on this spelling as follows: Bitkiwci, Byt'kiv, Betkivci, Byckiwci, or Bychkivtsi. In 1901 I believe that this village was in Poland. It is now in Western Ukraine. My great Grandmother left for Canada in 1897 or 1898 with her daughter Katryina and Katryina's husband Sobko Cischinski. It would be logical to assume that they also came from the same general area. My grandfather's mother's first husband Michael Zatylny died as did her second husband Steve Kuzyk in Poland (or Ukraine). Would appreciate any information on the Location of the Village and if possible any individuals named Zatylny living in either Poland or the Ukraine.
Thank you in advance; Joseph

I am just starting to research my father's side of my family tree. I learned recently that my great grandfather, Benjamin Wilke came to the U.S. through Ellis Island from Lvov. I don't know if this name was altered or changed, but if anyone knows anything I would greatly appreciate any leads. Thank you for any information.

My name is Julie Woloszyn. I'm trying to find out who and where my ancestors came from. My deceased grandfather, Brunislaw? Woloszyn, was born in Lwow on June 16, 1923. He was taken to Berlin by the nazis and put in a POW camp. There he met my grandmother, Katia, from Belorus who was also in the POW camp. My great-grandfather's name was Leon Woloszyn. He was married to a woman named Maria. She and my grandfather's sisters were sent to Siberia by the Russians. I have a picture of Leon Woloszyn and three other men, in Austrian military uniforms playing a card game. He was Polish though. I was told he died from lead poisoning and that he worked for the Polish government. I know that there is a Mount Woloszyn and perhaps a forest by the same name. If you or anyone else has any information I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, You can email me at tobornot2b4u$$$hotmail.com
