I am having difficulty getting info from my father about his heritage so the dates I have are coming from obits of family members.
I am guessing he was born in Hamerlik or Poplar Field in 1925-26 to John and Katherine (Kochan). His stepmom was Tekla. That is where his parents are buried. (Poplar Field)
He had brothers Mike, Harry, George,Walter, has sister Toni and brother Nick.
Stepfamily is Fred & Wally Skrabek living in winnipeg.
His dad and stepmom lived in winnipeg for a few years but neither spoke much english so we didn't visit much.
Fred lives in Dryden, ontario
His family came from the Ukraine around 1900-1910
name could have been changed from skomoroski
does this help?

Surnames: Skomorowski, Skamorocyki
Check census records
http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html
These names appear to be the same family.
1906 Skomorowski (son John)
1911 Skamorocyki (son John)

Also saw a Katerina Kocun, age 4 in 1911. You'll need to check alternate spellings for the last name, but she was the only with a close first name with alternate spellings, assuming of course your grandmother was in Manitoba at the time.

You could search MB vital statistics. I suggest trying the "sounds like" option.

The place names you mention are officially Poplarfield and Hamrlik.

this may be way off base, but is it possible that Katherina Kochan married someone else first - a Ratushniak. And if Takla is his step-mom, it's because she was also married to a Ratushniak?

Have you seen this post about John Skomoroch
http://www.ukraine.com/forums/15240-post1.html
"My Paternal Grandfather, John Skomoroch was born June 11,1886. He came to Canada from Cherenerva around 1914 and married Katherine Kochan and settled in Poplarfield, Manitoba. Her relatives, the Shott family are from the same village."

The fellow who posted that message describes his trip to eastern Europe to visit his grandparents' villages.

A bit more about him who is from Annandale, MN.

George Skomoroh is my Grandfather - His brothers are Fred, Walter, Mike, Nick, and sister Toni. I don't remember an Uncle Harry or heard much about him, so I can't say much about Harry. His mother died from diabetes when he was about 5 years old. His father re-married and the step brothers are Uncle Fred & Walter. I know he is buried beside his Mother in Poplar Field. His children are Kathryn, Gina, Rodney, and Erin Skomoroh. Rodney I believe lives in SK and the rest in MB. My mother is Kathryn. I do remember Baba (second wife, only Baba I knew) tiny lady that did not speak english. What is your Father's name?
Not sure if this helps.
