I have an immigration record that is prob my grandfather's. His home is listed as Hrehorrev but can only find Hryhoriw and a lot of Ukranians coming to Canada from there? Cannot access any Saskatchewan Records any suggestions on where to look for records in Poland or Sask?

My family was also from Hryhoriv. The administration district was Monastyryska.

If you're looking for records you should find out what church your family belonged to. There's a great website for Galician genealogical research with a lot of advice on how to get started.

Thank you for the district link!. There is no one to ask about my father's family and I do not know if the Pawel Dmytriw from Hryhoriw immigration record I found is my grandfather Paul Dmytriw but it is the only immigration record for that name on canadian immigration list so I am going with it. The lack of any information on that side is why I have not done much, Ukrainian research is harder than Irish! Every little bit helps so thank you very much!

It's no problem, and yes records in Galicia can be very tedious for english-speakers like us as often they were written in German and Polish, the exception being church records which were usually in Ukrainian or Church Slavonic.

Also, it's probable that was infact your grandfather's record, as Hryhoriv is not a large village, and many of the villagers immigrated to Canada- there is even a church in SK, Canada which was built by villagers almost exclusively from Hryhoriv.
