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.
