Hmm, thanks for the help again friends!
Greek island of Samos, hmm? That's quite interesting. Thank you so much for showing me that.
And there is a good possibility that I might be related to that writer. The spelling of "Samociuk" probably changed quite a bit during the transition from Polish alphabet to Ukrainian / Russian, and back and forth, so it is entirely possible that it got twisted a bit.
I will figure this out!
