Hi Doreen,
I have tried unsuccessfully for years to trace my mother's people. I do know that I have (had? don't know if he's still among the living) an Uncle William Timchuck. My mom was from Roseville also. Her parents names were Katherine Dourich and Conrad Timchuk (Timchuck). I had found an earlier record where the name was spelled Temczu. I was always told we were Polish, but a friend of mine has told me Temczu was a fairly common Russian name.
The records get hazy since my mom never would talk about her family. The nearest I could gather was that Katherine had married first one Timchuk brother who had died fairly young (do not know his name) and then married his brother (Conrad)and had a family with him. This was my mom's dad. I don't know if Katherine had any children from her first marriage.
As far as I know my uncle John is still alive and living in Roseville. That side of the family has never been close and this has made research very difficult.
Do you think there may be any connection there?
Hope to hear from you,
Janette McNana
