Do you have any idea where your Safroniuk emigrated. What religion did he practice. Where in Canada did he settle?

Today there are 491 Safroniuk (САФРОНЮК) listed in Ukraine today.

This surname is rooted in Greek for ancient given name Sofron/Safron, which means BLESSED WITH HOLY MIND.

Which one of these Safroniuk is your family?

Prokip Safroniuk headed for Winnepeg, possible dob 1894.

K. (probably Kyrylo) Safroniuk, 50, dob 1871 arriving in Canada in 1921.

Jakiv Safroniuk, dob 1876, died 11/25/1926 buried in Ft Wm. Ont. and his son Sava who lived
at 1333 Mountain Ave in Ft Wm. Jakiv was originally heading for Thunder Bay.

Now we will make some headway.

You are looking for Marya and Wasyl (commonly anglicized to William in English) Safroniuk, immigrating to Canada in 1920's and homesteading in Manitoba.
