One more detail I forgot to mention: My great-grandfather Joseph Swaczy was born somewhere
around the same time as your grandfather, although I don't have the date yet.
Dear Grace, my name is Daniel Matejek, and I live in Hillsborough, New Jersey, not
far from where your grandfather lived. I had a great grandfather by the name of Joseph Swachey from the Ukraine, whose name I
believe was originally Swaczy. He settled in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and then later
moved to Brooklyn, NY.
I am eagerly doing research on my family history and I am going to do all I can to research
Swaczy family history.
Unfortunately, I am just starting out! I have limited information right now, looking
for more. If you have any information of your own, I would greatly appreciate anything
to help me in my own research, as well.
I see that many Swaczys lived in South Bound Brook. Are you related to these other
Swaczys as well? Also, if you don't mind telling me, to what religion did your
grandfather belong? I believe my great grandfather might have been an Eastern,
Ukrainian rite Catholic. Do you have any information
on your family's origins in the Ukraine?
Please feel free to write me at my email address:

Sincerely,
Dan Matejek
