I am looking for any information about a Pyzik family that immigrated to Chicago around the turn of the century. Only know the children, John, Ignatz, Joseph, another brother and one or two girls, one named Sophie (not sure.) Does anyone know anything about them? We are even unsure of the parents' names. Thank-you.

There are a few Pyziks who arrived around 1900 and listed Chicago as their destinations. They are:
Adam Pyzik,age 32, 1902, from Tarnow Ignacy Pyzik, age 28, 1902, from Olpiny Joseph Pyzik, age 24, 1902, from Olpiny Michal Pyzik, age 26, 1902, from Olpiny Michael Pyzik, age 32, 1902, unsure Stanislaus Pyzik, age 30, 1902, unsure
The forms did not copy well and I am not sure of some of the dates and places of origin.

These are my first forays into researching my husbands family. Where did you find that information about the Pyziks. My father-in-law could only remember some names but we have found a bit more. His father, Joseph was born in 1896, in Yaslo, Poland. His parents brought the family we assume some time around the turn of the last century. The names you listed would be too old for either our Joseph or his brothers, but could any be his father? We don't know his name. Seems they didn't talk much back them. There are a bunch of Pyziks in the Chicago-Milwaukee area and we could be related to them, but Joseph died quite young so connections tend to be broken. Anyway, do you have any other possible Pyziks in your information? Thank you.

The names of the Chicago Pyziks came from a microfilmed copy of an index to passanger list of people arriving in the US from 6/1897 to 6/1906. The microfilmed copy was not very clear and did not photocopy well. I am researching the Pyzik name. You can contact me at pyzik@mediaone.net.

Hi There!
Unteresting to see your information on this website. My father arrived in Canada after WWII. He was born in Ukraine in Galicia. The information below may provide you with some insight on the name Pyzik, Pyzyk or Pyzhyk. In Ukrainian, the name has a 'zh' that is dropped in English. It is derived at least as shown below from what is now SE Poland (pre-WWII, part of Ukraine) where Polish and Ukrainian are both spoken and the village logo is written using the Cyrillic alphabet (did not show up when I copied into this e-mail)..
Hope this helps.
Keep in touch.

Do you know anything about Basil Pyzyk who would have lived in a village newar Luvov? His mother would have been Katrazina Pyzyk and had 8 children.

Sorry, I don't have this name in my file. The Pyzik family originated in Jaslo. I'm not sure where this is in relation to Luvov. Also, we know Joseph Pyzik (born 1896)father most likely was also named Joseph,but could be Franciscus. He remained in Jaslo.(or Olpiny). Any of this in your records?
