I am researching my grandfather, and his life seems to be a bit of a mystery. We have conflicting information on where he was born. Commonly we believe he was born in North Dakota, US. However, on canadian military records that we believe are his, he list his place of birth as Pedolski (sp), Russia. He lists his name as Michael Samuel Corpituck, even though we know him as Michael Samuel Corpe. He also listed his father as Samuel Corpituck. At the time of his attestation into the military im 1917 he gave an address of Port Arthur, Ontario. His birth is listed as 1894. If anyone has anything on the area of Pedolski, Russia (which I believe is now Ukraine) that may reference the Corpituck (or similar spellings) I would greatly appreciate it.
