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

Janette,

It does sound like this could be a match. I do not believe how may searches I have done attempting to find some information on Robert's family.

Robert is from Roseville and was raised by a foster family. His father William left when he was a young child. He does have an uncle by the name of John that lives in Roseville also, but has no contact with him.

We have had very little luck with any information and just recently started searching for different variations of Timchuck. Robert is tall and has black hair and dark eyes. He was told he was Polish and part American Indian, however Russian would not surprise me one bit. I welcome any additional information you may have.

Doreen.

Hi Janette I think I'm your cousin. My Maiden name was Timchuck and my fathers name was William but they called him Melly I'm not sure of the spelling. The name Timchuck I think is Russian. Grandma had a picture of Grandpa hanging on the wall in a red Russian uniform. I don't know if Uncle Johnnie alive or not. I wrote him once to see if he had picture of our family but he never answered. Daddy's lasr address was on Henry Street in Warren, Michigan. Your brother must be Lucky. Hope to hear more.
