searching for ivan berezuik family

[irynab]

i am researching my family tree. i know my father and his family are from what is now selo kamjane, rajon zhydacziv, oblast lviv and possibly from surrounding villages. kamjane was once known as czortoryia (although i have seen different spellings, so i'm not 100% sure of the correct spelling)and it was in bibrka rajon. i don't know when the name changed or for what reason. anyway i would like to find the family of my father's uncle. his name was ivan mykolajovycz(again the spelling?) bereziuk. he was probably born in the late 1800's, was probably married when he emigrated to north america. i don't know whether he kept in contact with his family in ukraine. his father died in the 1930's and his mother died before 1900. i would like to make contact and find out more about my extended family.

Names of (some) villages and districts have changed w/new govts. In the last 100 yrs this area was under Austro-Hungarian Empire, then Polish, then Soviet domain. There have even been some changes recently w/Ukrainian independence.

As you probably know, using Ukrainian is ideal for correspondence. Address below is to Village Administrator.
