They all cost money and I'm wondering if anybody has had any luck?
This website talks about slavic name endings: Slavic-Rusyn Items
my surname ending is -enko

I tried a family tree site...
worked great for my Polish side!
nothing for the Ukrainian side.
This site is free: FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records

While searching for my family, I also have found many different spellings on records.
Good Luck!
