Kozibroda in Mazurowka

[Marcia Feinberg]

Hello,
Would there be a way to know if any Kozibroda's still live in Mazurowka in western Ukraine, near Grzymalow/Skalat? Thank you very much! Marcia

Marcia,
when you go on SKYPE, you will find 4 Kozibroda names living in Ukraine, maybe try to contact one of them? Also you will find a lot in Poland and Canada.Hope it will somehow help.

1930 map shows Mazurowka as just south-west part of Grzymalow (kind of suburban village) - so - from modern map - it's obviously that village become part of town - Grymailiv (in Ukrainian):

Researching available Ukrainian on-line databases shows 136 Kozibroda family names, 30 of them in Ternopil (administrative oblast' city 40km NW from Grymailiv), but none - in Grymailiv or villages near.

Dear Victor,
My cousin (from New York, U.S.) is planning on visiting western Ukraine end of September. Do you know how she could find out about local transportation to and from such cities Lvov, Ternopil, Kolomea (Kolomyya..spelling?), Skalat, Borki Male (Malyye Borki), Kudrynce, Gzyzmalow,..... general areas? I thank you for your help...Maybe she should contact a tour guide for these regions, what do you think Sir? I await your reply. Sincerely, Marcia

Dear Marcia,

Being honest - probably best recommendation for tour guide, interpreter, driver and researcher - would be my modest person - as it's actually what I do - and am quite good and professional (references available).
If your cousin would choose more budget option (as travelling by buses/trains) - and doesn't need driver/guide/interpreter - I can help with planning route and booking hotels. If he/she would use my services - I can provide whole trip - airport transfers, visiting cities/towns/villages, researches at archives, CROs and on site (vilages' churches, councils, cemeteries) - combined with really interesting sightseeing (guided tours) on the route - as area is really touristy one - lot of points of tourist interest on the way.
Just am busy with other trips on September 12-19th and September 21-28th. Am free since September 29th.
You may contact be by PM - or by e-mail - lvivtravel@yahoo.com
Sincerely, Victor
