Surnames: Smashnuk, Frunchak
Since first posting my query about Bukowina, I have learned the place name of the village that the Frunchak (likely the Smashnuk's too) family hailed from. Not certain if the spelling is correct but it is given to me as SHYRIWCHI, in the district of Cherniwci, Province of Bucovina. That is the name given before they immigated in 1895.

Does anyone know if that place exists today? and if so where is it located? I see places on an 1882 map spelled Szczurowice, near Brody, also similar spellings: Shchurovychi near Lviv, perhaps Surowiczne / Surovicky / or Surovichny destroyed in 1947?
