I don't think you understood the initial post and you are arguing a moot point.

The initiator of this thread posted documented information.

Immigrant Ancestor was from Historic Galicia Province, and there was/is no Galicia/Halyczyna in Chernigov/Chernihiv !!!
-----------------------------

As far as your own relatives are concerned, please notice that they were crossed off the ship manifest. That line across their names means they never got on and off the ship. They had tickets, but for some reason they did not board. Unfortunately there is no annotation, so I cannot be more specific. You will have to continue looking for other records for them.

You might want to take a look at following. I used criteria Jewish, surname starting w/letter M, emigrating from sounds like Pryluki Russia:

I will disagree with you.
You have described small village with 2-3 Jewish families...
I search a brother of my G G grandpa who emigrate from Priluki to USA in 1911 and find record in Ellis Island

http://www.ellisisland.org/search/matchMore.asp?MID=00790385...

In original record was row - Priluki, Poland too. And I have seen not one such records in Ellis Island archiv. Seems that Poles who worked there marked most Ukrainian city and shtetls as Poland for unknown reason. May be due to some nationalistic views (Poland was divided between Russia, German and Austria-Hungary empires)

Small village can't be a source of dozens Jewish emigrants instead of big city in Chernigov guberniya with 9000 jewish community.

Bobbi, my apologies. It all just dawned on me. It has been five yrs since we last had contact.

I just emailed a friend, who should be currently traveling in this area. I asked that if time allows to please swing by the church or call the parish priest and ask about church registers. In the last few yrs missing church registers have started to reappear. Just a few weeks ago I heard that records for another village in I-F were recovered. They had been hidden in the foundation of an old barn for 80+ yrs.

I will get back to you as soon as I hear more.

That site has helped me before. I've even had a article placed in the local newspaper in that area looking for relatives and it worked! But i've not been able to get details about the cemetery, i have asked a few times but nothing comes of it.

Having said that, it has been a few years since last i was in contact with my relative in Малий Рожен and perhaps I should try again. I've had a break from my research there.

I might post about the cemetery myself thanks.

I also have information that the only way I can a get birth, marriage document is via a relative in the area. Wish I could do that myself. Do you know if writing to the church would yield anything?

Thanks for your assistance 'mighthelp'!

In 1941/1942 Nazis captured Polish and Ukrainian citizens for their OSTARBEITER (Forced Labor) Program.

Germans kept exact records of anyone that set foot in their territory during WW2. Contact the Bad Arolsen Archives. After the opening of the archives appx 4/5 yrs ago, there are still miles of shelves loaded w/DP (Displaced People) records, that are being digitized. Bad Arolsen will provide you w/records of Immigrant Family's exact experience in Germany, including personal details like place of EXACT origin and what Family Members were doing 6 mos prior to their German exp.

Inquiry by immediate family is available for free. All you need to provide is the full name and any other spelling variants or name variants and the exact birth date or as exact as you have it. Your inquiry can be performed by e-mail. Turn around can take as little as three days or nowadays as much as six months.

Maria,

Did you see the entry in the Ellis Island database for Janos Chernko who is returning to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1912? His birth year is c. 1872.(The name is actually written Chrenko on the manifest.)

Looks like he's escorting Maria Chrenko over. Her birthplace is "Hungary, Bosacz" and I think there are ditto marks under this for Janos' birthplace.

Maria's nearest relative (also named Janos Chrenko) lives in "Bosacz C. Trencsin." This would correspond with Bošáca in the Trenčín Region of western Slovakia.

Re: Cherinko/cherinka

Did your great-grandparents have a 50th wedding anniversary? or 40th? If so, an article might have been published on them in their local newspaper. That could indicate where they were married.

From 1802 - 1929/1932 the Chernigovskaya gubernia/region (Czarist then Soviet Russia) had 15 uezd/ counties, 11 of which (Borzna, Hlukhiv, Horodnia, Kozelets, Konotop, Krolevets, Nizhen, Novhorod-Siverskyi, Oster, Sosnytsia, Chernihiv) are located within Ukraine today. The remaining four northern counties (Mglin, Novozybkov, Starodub, Surazh) were part of a mixed Ukrainian, Belarusyn and Russian ethnic territory and today are geopolitical entities in Russia and Belarus.

Popowa Gora > today Krasnaya Gora (Red Mountain)

I only had time to locate one of the places you are researching : Popowa Gora

This settlement was first mentioned in 1387.

From 1802-1921 Popowa Gora > Surazh uyezd/district > Chernigov gubernia/region > Tsarist Russia. During the above time frame the population was predominantly BELARUSYN, with many "Old Believers" living in the immediate area.

During the Interwar Period it was renamed KRASNAYA GORA > Oriol district > Russia SSR. TODAY it is still called Krasnaya Gora, and is the district center town of the Krasnaya Gora district > Bryanskaya oblast/region > Russia.

Coordinates 53.00-31.36. The town of appx 6,ooo is located 32 miles W of Surazh, near the Belarus border.

Keeping in mind that William was likely anglicized from original name Wasyl/Wasil, I found following at http://search.ancestry.ca/

Name: Wasyl Matyczuk
Departure Date: 31 Mai 1902 (31 May 1902)
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880
Age Year: 22

Microfilm Roll Number: K_1830
==============================
==============================
This surname's transliterational (sounds-like) variants can be Matechuk/Mateczuk/Matichuk/Matychuk etc, but in Ukrainian the surname is Матичук. Closest transliteration would be
Matychuk/czuk.
==============================
==============================
==============================

FYI if your families were from Bukowyna/Bukowina, you are posting in the wrong subforum. This is Chernihiv (turn of the 19th century Chernigov > Czarist Russia) oblast/region > Eastern Ukraine, Russia and Belarus today.

Historic Bukowyna Province was/is in southernmost edge of Ternopil(ska) oblast and in whole of Chernivetska (Chernivtsi) oblast > both located in what is Western Ukraine today. Most of Southern Bukowyna Province is in Romania today.
=================================
I am in disagreement w/Gulia as to origin and meaning of surname. The Matyczuk surname is a variant Ukrainian surname formed from male baptismal name Matthew. It is rooted in Hebrew and means GIFT OF GOD. There are 5 Matthews listed in the Orthodox and Greek Catholic Calendars.

Hello Maria.

???

I think you are probably looking for Jan, Janos or Johann (anglicized to John), emigrating from Hungary. What we know for sure is given name starts w/letter J.

Use following site & try finding immigration documentation for him and hopefully his EXACT place of origin. Once we have a specific place name, we can take your research to Eastern Europe. Carpatho Rus today could be Ukraine, could be Slovakia, etc.

When you access following link, submit the surname the priest used in LAST NAME - SOUNDS LIKE. In ETHNICITY SECTION click off Hungarian, Polish and Ruthenian. Then click SEARCH. It might take a few minutes depending on your download speed, because you are submitting a soundex-sounds like search. Don't put anything else in. The more general your search, the bigger your net will be. Keep in mind that the details are in the ship manifest and it would be wise to sign on as member (free) at Ellis Island (http://www.ellisisland.org/) before proceeding to Steve Morse link. You need to view the handwritten 2 page manifest. Use available zoom to take a closer look.

If he settled in PA, additionally do same w/Baltimore and Philadelphia entry ports on Steve Morse link.

==================================

The information you received that there were quite a few emigrants from Ushcherpe is pretty accurate. The cause was likely the huge earthquake in 1908, that caused tremendous destruction throughout this region and as far East as Kyev.

Using following link, submit in SOUNDS LIKE-PLACE NAME: Ushcherpe and click RUSSIAN ethnicity. Submit nothing else. Then click SEARCH. A list of emigrants from Ushcherpe will come up. I did see a Kosjan Korniechkow coming from the village in 1910, but go thru the entire list. Make sure to examine all the ship manifests of interest, because that is where you will find the details.

This would be my great-Grandfather. I think it was around late 1800's. They settled in eastern PA in a very small place called Keystone. His name was John Cherinko and it was later spelled Chirinko. When his son married in his wife's Polish Church, the Polish priest spelled the name
"Czerwenko" and later in the document "Czerwienko".
One Federal Census said they came from Carpathian Rus.

Ushcherpe- Chernigov gubernia

alexvillarr — 2013-03-01 00:35:15Z

I am researching my ancestry back to the region of Chernigov gubernia. My family arrived between 1912-1913, and I was told it was part of a mass emigration from the village of Ushcherp'e, where my family is from. Apparently, large numbers of villagers were brought to the US to work, but it's unclear as to how they got here; it's difficult to find records, though I have heard from an aunt that they came through Canada. Has anybody had experience looking in this area?

I was the grandchild of Dan and Tanka Kornafel. The niece of Michael Kornafel. I always heard we came from different areas, Poland, Yugoslavia and Austria. Then I heard my grandmother mention Sweden of all places.

No location Jiolko and these 3 are the only ones that show up arriving from this location. I looked on the arrival manifest and the location looks more like Siolko/Liolko

Looking for family

I am looking for information on family with the last name Zapuraniuk, Zaparanuk who came to Canada in 1897. Possibly came over with Wasyl Prokopetz and his family. Zapuraniuk was married to Wasyls sister. The families came from Czarny-Potok.

Hi, my name is Lorie-Ann Matechuk. I am the eldest daughter of Nick Matechuk whom is the son of Williams Matechuk brother. Williams brother Nicholas had 5 children: Adam, Joanne, my dad Nick, Linda and Johnny. William's brother Nicholas was married to Jennie Lachowich. Nicholas died of cancer in I believe 1957. His wife Jennie ran a store and taxi business for many years, gradually working down to just having the corner store to run. Adam is retired living in I believe Bruce Mines or Elliot Lake, Ontario area, Joanne passed away in Sept 2011, Nick is still running a hotel business outside Ottawa in a town called Quyon, Quebec, Linda is still working and living in Sault Ste Marie, and Johnny is retired from the Steel Plant several years ago and living in the Sault.

My father Nick had two children, me, Lorie-Ann Matechuk, living in Calgary, Alberta and kid sister Kathleen Matechuk living in the Quyon , Quebec area.

I would love to put together a family tree and would appreciate any help anyone has to offer....due to my grandfather passing away, I do not know the whole Matechuk history and would love to piece together family history!
