Searching for Karpo/korbut family and Toporivsti

[Joykarpolock]

Hello,
Whatever information I can on Toporivtsi i would be grateful. This is where my father Vasyl Karpo was born in 1910. He left in 1923 with his mother Ivana Korbut and his father Siimeon Karpo left for Canada much earlier. My father was born October 10,1910. His brother Tedor was several years older. Moshul went to the western part of Canada, Alberta so homestead then to bring his family there, which he did.
My mother's family Korbut I have no information on at all. Anyone out there know of Korbut from Toporivtsi? The Karpo's lived there but not sure if Moshul had other family other than an uncle Metro who came to Canada and settled in North Eastern ALberta, Canada as my father did.
I know it will be difficult to find the house my father was born in and grew up in. My godfather was in Ukraine over 10 years ago and said the house was still there. Not sure where though. I understand Toporivtsi is small but it sure looks vast.
Help anyone?
We are planning to come to Ukraine in September. Canada to Lviv then to Chernivtsi for 2 weeks.
Thank you everyone.
Regards,
Joy

Hello everyone. Thank you Hannia, Ruth and others for sending such valuable information to me. I am so happy to receive help with my search for the Karpo and Korbut families. I hope to get more information if anyone has some. I would be grateful.
The planning of the trip seems overwhelming to me at this point but with help I hope we get it right.
Lviv to Chernivtsi and then on from there.
Regards,
Joy

Sorry Joy,
I sent this information before. I have searched for Simeon Karpo, brother of Vasyl, but it's difficult without a date of birth and destination. Do you have this?

Hi there and thanks for getting back,
The info I have now is somewhat different:
Grandfather Aksenty Karpo came to Canada before the family did in 1923. What year I still do not know. I was told he came with a brother but not sure if 'his' brother's name was Simeon? Not sure.
1923 came Grandmother Iwana Corbut with sons Todya, born Sept.1905 and Vasyl born October 1909.
I found two other siblings Petro born June, 1904 and Paraskava born June, 1905. I do not know if either of them lived but they did not come to Canada. Do not know why and I did not even know they existed until last week. I feel sad. This is all I have .

Joy,
Have you tried to search the LDS records for Toporivtsi? ( I can't remember the details of past threads as I think information was scattered in several.)

I don't recall if this is repeat info, but there are 38+ Karpo and 68+ Korbut in Toporivtsi today.

Hello,
My grandmother Iwana Korbut was married to AKsenty Karpo living in Toporivtsi until 1923 when she left for Canada with two children, Todor and Vasyl. She also had two other children Petro and Paraskeva who I knew nothing about until two weeks ago.
She was born in around 1885 in either Toporivtsi or Hlyna (?) Kitsman region.
Help anyone?
