Searching for relatives Golych/Malicki..Sokal, Wasylkowce

[BillG]

I am looking for relatives who are living in Ukraine. My father, Nicholas Golych (sometimes spelled Golycz) came from Wasylkowce (now known as Vasil'kovtsy), Ternopil, Galicia and immigrated to Canada in 1922. His two brothers immigrated 1928 and 1930. My grandfather died in Canada 1914. My grandmother remained in Wasylkowce with a daughter. There were also uncles, aunts, cousins that remained in Wasylkowce. I do have some names of possible uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws.

My mother, Tekla Malicki, came from Sokol, Lviv, Galicia, and immigrated to Canada in 1929. Her brother, Nicholas arrived in Canada 1927. I do not know if they had brothers or sisters. My grandfather's name was Dmytro and was from Sokal, Parchacz, Malonolaka, Galicia.

I would like to have research done in Sokal and Vasil'kovtsy and I need the names, addresses, email of the head of the village or town who may be able to help. Or maybe they know of someone who can do some local research.

Does anyone have an address for these locations?

Thanks.................

Bill,

I am so sorry your inquiry took so long to answer. Vasylkivtsy was pretty
easy, but Sokal was a toughie. I have finally found what you need.
________________________________________________________________

From late 18th century to 1919 wies/village, Wasylkowce, was
predominantly a Ruthenian/Ukrainian village w/its own Greek
Catholic church. The filial Roman Catholic church was in Husyatyn.
Husyatyn was both the powiat/administrative district and the gmina/
judicial-tax district > Tarnopolskie wojiwodstwo/region > Galicia/Halyczyna
Province, administered by ethnic Poles for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
1919-1939 this region came under Reconstituted Poland's domain. Technically
Poland had not existed as a geopolitical entity for the previous 125 yrs.
All previous names, except Halyczyna are transliterated from Polish. Post WW2
this region became a part of SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain, until 1991 when
Ukraine became independent.

Address for Village Administrator:

Holovi Silskoji Rady
selo Vasylkivtsy
Husyatynskij raion
Ternopilska oblast
Ukraine 48257

It seems that LDS has not filmed the GC records for your ancestral
village.

Those can probably be obtained thru oblast archives.

State Archives of Ternopil Oblast
[Derzhavnyi arkhiv Ternopilskoi oblasti]
14 Sahaidachnoho st.,
46001 Ternopil

If you do not speak Ukrainian, consider getting yourself some
local help. Vitalij, a scholar in Boston, has a close friend, Ihor,
from Ternopil. Ihor has recently written a book re Ukrainian
families in the region. He has done extensive research for
several of our members and comes w/exc references. Rates
for translation and research are very reasonable. Additionally,
Ihor also is very familiar w/both the various archives in Ternopil
and the historical archives in Lviv. vivandr@brandeis.edu
He is also very good at getting around the RAHS/district archives.
___________________________________________________________________

Bare in mind that immigrants frequently referred to their GMINA, judicial-tax district,
as place of origin for geographical reasons, because their own villages were small.

Where did Tekla and her brother, Nicholas (more likely originally
Mykola/Mykolaj), settle upon immigration? Their marriage certificates
might prove helpful. Greek Catholic Church Records are quite detailed.
They should tell you where Tekla and Mykola were born.

I suspect that Grandmother's family was from wies Parczacz, which was hamlet sized.
Both the filial Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic Churches were in Krystynopol, appx 3.5 miles
NNE of ancestral Parczacz. Krystynopol's name was changed to Chervonograd in 1953. Today
it is a town of appx 85,000 people and is called Chervonohrad in Ukrainian. It is a center for mining.
Sokal was both the powiat and gmina > Lwowskie wojiwodstwo > Galicia/Halyczyna > Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This region was bordered by the Russian Empire (Vohlynskaya gubernia/region) at the time.

TODAY Parczacz is called selo/village Mezhyrichia (means between two rivers) > Sokalskij raion > Lvivska oblast >
Ukraine, 80084.

I would also have someone local check the White Pages in Chervonohrad for your surnames??? Many villagers have
migrated to larger towns for economic reasons.

Hannia
Thank you very much for your reply and the helpful information.
My mother, Tekla, and uncle, Mikolaj, both immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and both were eventually married there.
I have checked the ship manifest again which is not very readable but it appears that for both of them their place of birth was Parchacz, Poland. My grandfather's address was also shown as Parchacz.
I have some letters translated to Ukrainian that I will send the village and the oblast.
Thanks again.
Bill

Lviv Oblast Archives are still closed for inventory.

There were some serious thefts in the last few yrs and Kyiv has ordered
a thorough inventory.

Hi Bill,

Just to add my 2 cents, My family was from Sokal and I have utilised Ihor's services repeatedly. His rates are reasonable and he is adept in dealing with the archives.
