Czorny, Chorney of Stuartburn

Posted: 9 Feb 2013 4:12PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Chorney, Czorny
Searching for information on Omifry or Orpini Czorny, b.ca1871 in Galicia, and his wife, Ewka or Maria, b.ca1876 in Galicia, children were Anna, b.ca1899 in Galicia, Michael, b.ca1900 in Manitoba, Jan, Antoni, Petro and Omifry's mother was Justina, b.ca1837 in Galicia. They arrived in Canada in 1899.

Where in Galicia did all the folks who arrived 1898-1899 originate from? There seems to have been a mass emigration of Galicians.

Searching for cemetery information and information on the children.

Hi Ken,

In "Early Ukrainian Settlements in Canada 1895-1900" by Valdimir J. Kaye, there is a result for "Chornyj (Chorne, Churney), Onofry" and "Chornyj, Wasyl"

I will have access to this book in a few weeks. Please let me know if you'd like me to copy this information for you.
