Family from Berezna-Need Help

[Mark D. Peters]

Greetings,

My name is Mark Peters and I am in need of assistance. My family came from a small town of Berezna in the Ukraine and the government was able to locate some records for me that were translated below. I need help locating a contact in that town so I can aquire my family's records.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely and God Bless,
Mark Peters

They found a birth record in the records from 1882 for the Rozhdestvo-Bogoroditskii church of the town Berezna Skvirskii, Kiev guberna (county, more or less).

It reads:

No. 79. Evstratii. Born 12th, baptized 13 December in the year 1882.
Parents: from Berezna the soldier Afanasii Filippovich Petlyuk and his wife Vassa Karpova, both Russian Orthodox."

Dates are in the old style (Julian calendar).

File reference to this note: Fond (major archival heading) 127, opis
(section) 1078, delo (box) 367, "ark. 18 ob." -- which may mean "in the archives of the 18th oblast (district)".

Hello Mark,

Петлюк (Ukr) = Petlyuk is not an uncommon name throughout Ukraine. Based on the suffix,
my guess is that the surname probably originates in the old region of Vohlynia???

Today your ancestral selo/village, Berezna, is in the Volodarskij raion/district > Kyivska oblast/region >
Ukraine, latest zip code 09320. You can contact Holova Silskoji Rady = Head of Village Administration
and make an inquiry re any surviving family still residing in the village. Once you make contact you can
ask them to make a request on your behalf re church registers.

I don't want to get your hopes up, but there is a Ukrainian agricultural article on the net, that mentions
Berezna and its successful coop farmers, one of which is Petlyuk/Petljuk, Ivan Zaharovich (son of Zahar).

Do you know Russian or Ukrainian?
