Write the letter in Ukrainian, although English would be okay, as they will find someone who will translate it for them. The envelope must be addressed in Ukrainian, with also 'Ukraine' in English for Canada Post. Seeing that there are so many Tashchak's in your village, make sure that you ask them questions that you think they should know. Wait for them to tell you about the family, not you telling them. They may even have some family pictures sent to them from Canada. Be cautious, you want to connect with the right family.

Good luck!

My father was born in Strilets'kyy Kut in the Chernivtsi in 1907. He was related to the Taschuks. His "cousin" Ivan Taschuk came to America, to Pennsylvania after WWII having married an American Ukrainian UN Relief Organization worker named Julia. My father went to Australia after the war where he met my mother Natalia Sobko. My father died in 1989, and his cousin Ivan died in Florida, some years afterward. Recently I came into communication with a distant relative-his mother was a Taschuk and my father's grandfather and her grandfather were brothers-I think. My father wrote to her for sometime and was very fond of her. She died at age 94 not too long ago. It is very nice to be writing to her son who lives in Bucharest. I have known so little about my father and have met so few relatives, that it is amazing to see someone else is aware of Strilets 'kyy Kut, much less suddenly see that I may have many relatives, even if distant. I hope to visit someday. Strilets 'kyy Kut always seemed not quite real to me more out of folklore. I have a picture (1930's perhaps) of my great grandfather dressed in a Hutsul embroidered outfit standing with my father next to him- dressed in suit and coat-very urban looking-such contrasts.

Hi Roxanda! I'm just as surprised as you are to see that there might be a possible distant relative out there. Never did I think I would even get a reply when I posted this 3 years ago. I have my family documented as far as I could go (so far) without actually accessing the records in Ukraine myself. Would you like to exchange information? I think it would be very cool if we are related and we can find out more about our family! My email is brandontaschuk@gmail.com feel free to message me! I'd love to find our connection!

Sincerely,

Brandon Taschuk

Hello Brandon! I was surprised to get a reply-and so quickly, as you had posted your inquiries long ago. I presumed that you may have already moved on, perhaps even travelled to Ukraine.

Yes, I would like to connect and see whether we can put any pieces together. I can also connect you with Mikhail Ivascu (Ivasko) whose mother was a Taschuk (Vera) and with whom I came into communication only a year ago-and thus started digging for more info. My email is:
prosperoradomsky@gmail.com It is late tonight so I will message you this weekend.

Sincerely,

Roxanda Radomsky

I was going to add that my grandmother, I believe, was a Taschuk (Raifta). So the connection may be closer than I had at first thought.
