Hello

My dad roomed with a Mrs Bulechowski in Rosedale, which was a small hamlet outside of Drumheller. When I knew her, she was an old lady. Her husband worked in the Drumheller Coalmine & died from it. She had a few sons: Alex, & Fred is one I can remember. Freddie moved to San José, CA, USA. Another died in a drunk car crash. Gosh I'd have to ask my dad about the names of them all.

Mrs Bulechowski's English was very limited so I couldn't converse with her as I didn't speak Ukrainian, but she was a great fun lady who was warm & generous & kind. We children called her Baba Bulechowski & I loved Easter because she would buy us Easter candies.

Hello

I asked my dad who knew that BULECHOWSKY family in Rosedale, AB.

Alexander BULECHOWSKY & Catherine (née HUSIO) had 4 sons:
1) Alec married Nellie who was Hungarian & they lived in Calgary, AB & did not have children.

2) John aka Yanky married & divorced Dolores & they had about 8 children, 1 that was around my age was Shawn (spelling?)

3) Billy was married to Ita & they divorced. Billy was killed in a car accident probably early 70s or late 60s. They had 3 sons.

4) Fred married & divorced Wendy. He moved to San José, CA, USA as of 1985ish.

John & Billy lived either in Rosedale OR Drumheller.

That is all that can be told. The names are English spellings of the Ukrainian & as you will note, my dad spelled it Bulechosky without an i and the end. That gets to be a sticky problem when these words get translated over, some documents have them with i or y. What fun!

Good luck with your Family Tree search.
