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

Sincerely,
Dan Matejek
