Hello -- I am a Shwetz with the original spelling of the family of Szwec. This family came from Nienowice, Poland (near the Polish/Ukraine border)-- and may have moved to the Ternopil Oblast after WW2. I have recently found that Szwec moved to Sasiv (current spelling) which is between L'viv and Ternopil. This was the Peter Shwetz/ Szwec family.

Hello, I knew a Carol Sweck from Woonsocket High School from class of 1970 I believe. My grandmother and greatgrandparents were from Borki Male, Austria Galicia. I learned a lot of info from obtaining the Mormon microfilms. Have you tried that approach to obtain birth, death, marriage records? I am looking to learn about land ownership as my great grandfather owned some land in Borki Male in 1914. His name was Michael Koziebroda. Have you heard of his name? signed, Marcia Lind Feinberg, formerly of Woonsocket, R.I.

Hi Marsha, I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I grew up in Cumberland. I would really like to talk to you outside of Ancestry. Where did you do your research with the microfiche? Do you still live in the Rhode Island area? I'm looking froward to hearing from you again.

Hello Sir or Madam, Have you enlisted the help of a Ukrainian genealogist from the Archives at Ternopil or Lvov archives? That is something I am considering to do at some point....my mother's mother's parents of Borki Mali (now Malyye Borki) are supposedly buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery in Touste nearby. There are Greek Catholics buried there too as I understand....My mother's father's parents were from Jasienow Polny, near Horodenko. Are you having success in your research? Marcia Lind Feinberg

My great grand parents graves are unknown (town) I have been writing for information from the Archives at Ternopil not the Lvov archives If you can pass that information to me that would be great !
Thank you ! Do you know the names of some Russian Orthodox cemetries in the Ternopil area that I might be able to contact..

Re: Skalat, Ternopil Oblast, Galicia, Austria (Ukraine) , Mali Birky or Borki Male
Well, I am not sure if i can be of help......when you say Ternopil area, that is a broad term.....do you mean specifically the City of Ternopil as it is today or way back when 100-150 years ago? One hundred years ago and further back, there was no Russian Orthodox church in Austria-Galicia, only Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic...those were the only two recognized religions as politics under the Austrian government dictated what religions could exist...perhaps you should read up on the history..... If you gave me the name a town/village in the Ternopil area, I can look up the closest Greek Catholic Church as usually villages clustered around a single church. And again what time frame are you concerned about? Marcia

Hello again, Do you read and write in Ukrainian? That would be a help to me....maybe we can be of some help to each other...again....I can look up what churches there were in 1800's and early 1900's but i need to know the specific village(s). I have the Gazeteer written by this fellow Brian ( i forgot his last name but I can find it) and it is a list of pretty much all towns, tax districts, administrative districts and affiliated Roman and Greek churches of the former Austria-Galicia...Marcia May I ask your first name?

My great grand parents were Iwan & Euphrosine Czuczak My grandmother told us that she moved back to "Russia" when she was 7 or 8 and came back in 1930 when she was 21. He father sent her back to the USA due to the problems rising in the area and that the borders where closing. I was told my grandmother and her parents Iwan & Euphrosine practiced Russian Orthodox
Thank you ! Lisa
