UKRAINIAN SIDE: Family Tree Update

UPDATE : 19 August 2014
Filling in the missing dots on the family tree back.
Shown below are those who immigrated to the USA from the village of Sabadash who were never included on this tree because:

  • They had left to improve their life
  • They had left before their age of military - age 20.
  • No one knew of them. 
  • And no one knew they had any family.

PREVIOUS POST:
It's a new year and another one from which the goal of collecting information from those who remain a priority for the previous generation to connect and collect. They are the storytellers, gatekeepers and family historians who hold within their experience that which only documentation can retain for the next generation.

Since the death of Vera (daughter of my grandfather's youngest sister LyudmyIa 'Lida') have continued to be in contact with various family members. It is my hope to continue this connection and expand via documentation the portion of the Lysanyuk family tree from which our side of the family branch derive. These include those family members that were not researched (or shown in the family tree below) who are descendants of my g-grandfather Feodosiy 'Todos' Petrov Lysanyuk.

My GOAL is to expand this tree. Currently, on the lower panel our branch is barely indicated with missing people and descendants. I wish to expand our branch to include a new panel that would fit in the empty lower left area coming from Todos. This research would also include any other new branches as they are discovered.

Also, the following errata / mistake should be noted in the above tree: 
Todos is the son of Petro [first picture] and not Hrygoriy [second picture]...as the line indicates in this tree. Correction: The line from Todos should connect to Petro [to the right], and not to Hrygoriy [diagonal below].

Already I have discovered local church records which confirm missing family members. It are these records of both missing ancestors from this one branch and their descendants that I wish to include in the expansion of this tree to make it more complete.

It will be make this a more inclusive and complete picture of a family whose history not only  goes back in time - but, crosses into new lands...yet, remain connected by blood.

This post will be expanded as more information becomes available.

I wish to thank Valery Mirvoda for these photos. As we are separated by miles and he lives close enough to assist me. He has been more than helpful in providing me with these recent photos of the family tree as they give greater detail and appreciation of the legacy that is our personal pedigree.
