Palij from Koniukhy > Kozova >Ternopil

[Hannia]

Today your ancestral village, Koniukhi = Конюхи in Ukranian, is no longer in Berezhany district.
It is in the Kozova district of the Ternopil region.

From the late 18th century to 1919 wies/village Koniuchy was predominantly a Ruthenian/Ukrainian
village with its own Greek Catholic Church. The filial Roman Catholic Church was in Buszcze and
the filial Jewish Kahal was in Kozova. Brzezany was both the POWIAT (administrative district / county)
and the GMINA (judicial/tax district) >Tarnipolskie wojiwodswto/region > Galicia/Halyczyna Province,
administered by ethnic Poles for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1919-1938 the region came under
Reconstituted Poland's domain. Technically Poland had not existed as a geopolitical entity for the previous
125 yrs. Post WW2 this region became a part of SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain until 1991, when it
became independent. It was after this that there was a district change.

You ancestral village Koniukhi is located on the Koropets River. It was first documented as a township
in 1440. Today it still exists, w/a large reservoir nearby, and a population of 2,600.

In 1530 was recorded as property of Stanislaw Wendinski, who built a castle here. The villagers were
not particularly cooperative, so he attacked them w/an armed force in 1568. After that event, the Polish King
gave the village to A. Senyaniski. In 1626 the village was razed by the Tatars. In 1730 the village
became the property of Lubomyrski and then a Potocki. The feudal system lasted much longer
in Eastern Europe than it did in Western Europe.

During the early Austro-Hungarian Period, the village was the center of the district.

In the summer of 1917 there was a huge battle with the Russians.

The first church***, the Church of the Holy Spirit, was a wooden church built in 1607. In 1770
it was replaced by a stone church, called the Assumption.

There is still a Palij living in selo/village Koniukhy today. They may be others. Given the economics, in many places in Ukraine telephones are still considered a luxury.

Thank you for taking the time to post this information! We are so happy to have it. If you find anything else, please let me know. Best, K

1. Julia in Ukrainian = Юля, pronounced You-lya. Nickname could have been Yule-ka.

2. Tecla = Tekla Kriuczka = Текля Крючко. Tekla is pronounced Tek-lya. Notice the O ending on surname.

3. Iko is equivalent to Eli or Elias in English.

4. I think the surname you are looking for is Маційовська (кий suffix is for male). The closest pronunciation in English would be Ma-tzi-yov-ska. There are two other possibilities:Мацьковська (again same suffix as above for male and can be spelled with or without the soft sound ь and pronounced Matzkovska, and Маховська (male suffix as above), pronounciation Makhovska. All four surnames are legitimate in the Ternopil Region. My guess is that it is the one I show in bold font.

5. Maria/Marya/Mary = Марія in Ukrainian

Thank you...this is much clearer than on the other forum. Though I don't read Ukrainian, some of those names looked funny to me! I appreciate the clarification. Best, K
