This map is good up until 1970. Mali Kuskivtsy was in Ternopilska Oblast/Region. In looking thru the latest Ukrainian Postal Index, the village does not show up. There are two possibilities: the village was absorbed by larger village Lanivtsy or Mali Kuskivtsy is a hamlet and too small to have its own post ofc.

Zaporizhe (alternate name online - Zaporozhye) in southeast Ukraine. It is both the name of the region and the name of the city. Was your family from the large town, Zaporizhe or a village in the Zaporizhska Oblast/Region? There were also many Germans living there in the 18/19th centuries. WHERE DID YOUR ANCESTORS IMMIGRATE and approximately in what time frame?

PS> Many Cossacks made their way to California after the Bolshevik Revolution. They worked as extras and stuntmen in the cowboy movies of early Hollywood. To this day there are stuntmen in Hollywood, who are descendants of Cossacks.

Thank you for this information!!! My grandparents came to Canada anywhere between 1950-1955 to Canada, along the St. Lawerence Sea way, first settling in Asbestos, Quebec Canada. Strychowskyj is my grandfathers (english version) last name is have forgotten my grandmothers maiden name.
