Looking for anyone that may know the Parada family from what used to be called Nagyszollos, now Vynohradiv.

Hello Sarika and welcome.

Parada/Парада from Vynohradiv/Виноградів.

There are appx 500+ Parada currently living in Ukraine, most in the Zakarpatska oblast/region, w/a bunch of them in Vynohradiv, a town of 28,000. Additionally, there are also some in Uzhorod, the regional capital.

Are you sure that your Immigrant Ancestor was from this large town, a district center, and not from one of the many villages in the district? Immigrants frequently referred to their district center as place of origin for geographic reference, because their own villages were very small.
