Hi All! My Baba and Gido came to Willingdon AB from Rivna Ukraine (now Ivano-Franivske Oblast) near Kalush Western Ukraine. My Dad, Bill Melnyk and his brothers and sister lived all grew up on the farm too. I read in these posts about - Boychuk - my late Aunt Mary-Anne married Herb Boychuk. Also, my Dad regularly played in the Willingdon annual golf tournament and did try to keep in touch with his classmates from over 50 years ago. Perhaps I might be able to help?
My search is for my grandparents relatives in the Ukraine. In reading my Grandfather (Gido) memoirs, Baba's Uncle came to Canada before her (she arrived around 1932).
Gido was involved in three wars prior to arriving in Canada in 1930 and is from the village Rivna, near Kalush. Their names are John and Mary Melnyk. Anyone from the old country?
