Does anyone know if there is an online White Pages for Kosovets Lubien Vielki in the Ukraine?

hh,

Don't know if you saw this post. It's very useful when you're guessing the
spelling of surname transliteration or don't know port of entry.

Immigrated to United States and you can't find records???

Convert your surname to Soundex Code.
Don't worry too much about precise spelling.
This search for records is based on SOUNDS LIKE SURNAME.
It also covers St. Alban's Records & Detroit port entry, via ship to Canada
and then train to States. Canadian entry port, then train to States
was cheaper deal. Steamship co's were very competitive
during Great Immigration.

I have not located any Beshley people in Kosovets
Instead there are 2 families in Velyky Liubin, at least the Lviv Phone Service has 2 families registered, living in the same street.

I have been reading re Romani/y history and surnames. Fascinating subject.

BUT hh, I still have no concrete answers for you.

This link was especially interesting.

This link will flip you out. It did me. Elvis Presley was of Gypsy heritage.

hh,
Beszlej/y - Presley?? The names don't sound that different. Maybe you're related?

[Hannia]

The name upon immigration was Pressler. If I remember correctly, the family was German Sinti, a micro-ethnic Gypsy group.

Z, you have a great sense of humor! You have me chuckling.

Elvis Presley - I wish. Sure, Zarjacks.

Hannia, thanks for the link to the sites on the Roma. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated. I think the Gypsy element may have some truth to it. I can tell you, it's in my blood to travel. I've lived in 16 countries and have travelled to every continent. By plane though, not caravan.
