Yaremchuk

[CYaremchuk]

I posted on this site along time ago with not too much information, I stopped for a long time and just started up again in the last couple weeks and have found a ton of information all over my tree not just in the Yaremchuk branch. But now that I feel like I'm as far as I can go in some of the branches I'm going to go at them one at a time. So I'm starting with the Yaremchuk Branch.

I have been able to go as far back as Harry YAREMCHUK. [Could have been Hregory(sp?)]

Alternate Spellings: Yaremchuk/Yaremchuck/Jaremchuk/Jaremczuk/Yaremczuk/etc.
Ukrainian Alphabet: ЯРЕМЧУК

Born in Ukraine, don't know what region or town but I know he lived in Drohobyjc, Ukraine.

Marriage: Pauline EWANCIW / IWANCIW EВАНЦІВ / ІВАНЦІВ ??? (Used a translator for this one)

Pauline and Harry were married in Drohobycj, Ukraine and while living there had 6 children, they had a 7th after settling in Canada.


Harry YAREMCHUK & Pauline EWANCIW Offspring:

Nicholas/Nikolia YAREMCHUK - B. 1897 Drohobycj, Ukraine
John YAREMCHUK - B. 1899 Drohobycj, Ukraine
Joe YAREMCHUK - B. 1901 Drohobycj, Ukraine
Antonia YAREMCHUK - B. 1904 Drohobycj, Ukraine
Frances YAREMCHUK - B. 1906 Drohobycj, Ukraine
Mary YAREMCHUK - B. 1911 Drohobycj, Ukraine
Anne YAREMCHUK - B. 1916 Alberta, Canada


Pauline YAREMCHUK (EWANCIW) was born to Peter EWANCIW & Marianne MAZUR / WALAGA (I found one pretty much perfect fitting tree that had Walaga, but then I found a record connection that seems more legit and it said Mazur but something seemed off so im not 100% sure)
Peter was born in Drohobycj and I believe Marianne was as well. They had 6 children I know of.

Annette EWANCIW - Married John SOBIW
Katherine EWANCIW - Married William WASALEWSKA
Sophie EWANCIW - Married John PIWOWAR
John EWANCIW - Married Katherine PIELECH
Michael EWANCIW - Married Elizabeth MAZUR Second Marriage to Theodosia STASYK (Married in Canada but Michael knew her from Ukraine and she came over to Canada to Marry him.)
Pauline EWANCIW - Married Harry YAREMCHUK


Immigration in 1913

Harry & Pauline YAREMCHUK (and kids) along with Michael & Elizabeth EWANCIW (and kids) travel from Drohobycj Ukraine to Austria to Canada, eventually settling in and around the Smokey Lake Area.



I mostly trying to figure out where Harry Yaremchuk came from? Was he born in Drohobycj? Who were his Parents? Did he have any siblings?
I obviously also wouldn't mind going back further on the Ewanciw or Mazur/Walaga side as well.

As far as I know none of Harry Yaremchuk's relatives joined him in Alberta. Nor do I know if any of Pauline & Michael's Siblings or relatives joined them later on. As far as I know it was just Harry, Pauline, Michael, Elizabeth and the kids and I'm not 100% sure all of Michael's kids came with him.

I can also trickle down more through Harry, Pauline, Michael, Elizabeth, Theodosia. Maybe some others. Through Harry and Pauline its a direct line to me and my tree I'm working on is somewhat impression... I like to think so anyway. Let me know if any other info might help.

Thanks,
Chris Yaremchuk

Just wanted to bump this, hoping there were no replies simply because it got lost in all the threads.

If there is anymore info that could help just let me know and I will try and figure it out.

Thanks again

Once again I've come on here to bump this. I'm honestly a little surprised, I often see people post nothing more than a 1 first and last name and get great responses. I was once told on here to find as much info as possible as far back as I could go, I think I've done a pretty good job in that respect and haven't even received a response telling me what more I could do....

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting anyone just to have a bunch of information for me. I'm just trying to figure out what more I can do since any information I can find literally gets cut off here.

Anyway, here's to hoping....

Chris,
Have you tried to get naturalization file for Hryc Jaremchak? It will contain info on immigration and likely ancestral village/place of birth. He wasn't naturalized in 1916 census but may have been later as it was required for homestead acquisition. Homestead file can also be requested from AB govt.
