Looking for Tymchuk Family

[mariatym]

I am new to this site, but really enjoy reading all the articles received and answered.
We are looking for the Tymchuk family.
George Tymchuk, his wife Maria (nee: Fodchuk) and son Timofiy came to Canada in 1913 from the village of Orelets, Sniatyn. They had other children Paraska, Sofia, and Nikolaj who came to Canada earlier. George Tymchuk was the youngest of three brothers and one sister. We cannot find the Tymchuk brothers and their family in the village of Orelets. We do not know where they went. We found in the LDS files that the sister Maria was married to Hrushka. How can I find out if there are any Hrushka in the village? Are there any Tymchuks in the village of Orelets?? George’s mother’s maiden name was Petruk. If any one can help me out. Thank you Mary

Hi Maria or Mary

I'm Anna and like you, am new to the site, everyone seems really friendly and helpful and I'm sure other experienced members of the site will get in touch soon to give you some pointers as to where to start your search.

Sorry if I sound vague but still finding my way round the site myself.

Regards

Anna

There are 115 Петрук/Petryk listed still living in your ancestral village. The only one I could not find was Грушка/ Hrushka.

SOME ADDITIONAL INFO:

Mary, do you remember the word Hutsul ever coming up in conversation when you were still a child?

Most of the Snyatyn District Ukrainians were/are Hutsuls. This is a micro-ethnic Ruthenian/Ukrainian group. They were/are montenyard (mountain) people.

Hutsuls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You will have to make an inquiry at the State Archives of Ivano-Frankivs′k Region, They may have the records you are looking for, or not. During WW2 this region was battered by the Russians and the Germans.

Should you decide to make such an inquiry, make sure that you are very specific. One wild goose chase and you will have an disgruntled archivist on your hands. Tulova should not be a surprise.
