Not related. If this is the family, they moved to the Hamilton, Ontario area. Son John was a lawyer and appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada.

This is so amazing!!!!!!
I have been trying to put together the family tree for the
Sopinkas from Wislok Welikiy.
I have all the information I could get from 1786 untill
about 1815 but there are many pages missing from the
greek catholic church records. Many pages were destroyed
by the Polish WW2 - 1947 during Operation Vistula(Actsia
Visla)Because there are parts of the story missing I am having trouble connecting everyone.
It is good to finally find out that Dmitro was married in
Wislok and not in Canada.
I now need to find out the names of Dmitros parents so
I can confirm if he is the brother of Mary sopinka and John
Iwan Sopinka who lived in McKees Rocks,PA. Maria wrote a book that has so much information but there are 2 key
people names from the family missing.
If this is the correct Dmitro then his parents would have
been Teodor sopinka and Eva Riopka.
I am wondering now how I can find this information so I can confirm everything.
In Poland there is some information but only until 1915
for Wislok so far as I have found.
I am still searching if there are any records in other
places besides State Archive in Prsemysl.
All the Sopinkas from Wislok are related.
Are there any sopinka in Saskatchewan at all???
I am now wondering how I could
