I am interested in sharing any information about the Lisowyk family you may have.

I believe our families may be related. My maternal great-great grandmother, Mary (Maria) Yuzwin, married a man named Thomas Lisowyk sometime between 1915 and 1920. I think that "Thomas" is the English translation for "Tymko".

Thank you for the information. It is very kind of you to search for all these citations.

I have already received a photocopy of the land grant to Mary Lisowyk.

Homestead records: I have tried searching the Manitoba Archives website but haven't found anything. Do you have a link?

Marriage Registration: I've searched the Manitoba Vital Statistics Database (http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php), but the marriage of Thomas LISOWYK and Mary YUZWIN doesn't appear. Do you think it is worthwhile contacting the Archive directly even though I don't have an exact date for the marriage? Or is there another link I should try?

Thanks again for your help.

What a surprise to see a reply to something I posted several years ago.

I have quite a bit of information on the whole Lisowyk family that I'm willing to share.

Tymko Lisowyk was originally married to a Yewa Batenczuk. She died by accidental drwning in 1916 and Tymko married Maria Lisczuk, widow of Thomas Zuswik (probably an variation of Yuzwin) in July of the same year.

If you would like to correspond directly, contsact me at chitek@hotmail.com but mark the message as relating to the Lisowyk family very clearly. With the amount of junk this account gets, I often mass delete incoming e-mails.

Hope to hear from you soon.
