Kremenchuky / Kremenchuki

[ajordan]

I am researching my Polish ancestors in Ukraine and was wondering if anyone has photos or information about the village Kremenchuki, located 5 kms from Antoniny and 7 kms from Starokonstantinov. There is nothing on the internet and I would love to see photos or know more information about the village.

Also, if anyone knows of a reputable researcher who may be able to obtain cemetary records/photos, please let me know.

Thank you.

Thank you Hannia. I will contact the webmaster for Krasyliv. I have emailed and sent letters to the State Archive of Khmelnytskyi Oblast several times over the past 4 years and have yet to get a response. I believe there was a fire in the archive 3 years ago and maybe that is the reason I have not yet heard anything. Maybe a phone call would be best at this point.

Thank you for the email of the webmaster.

Also, another question. I recently discovered that my family moved from Kremenchuki to Irpien/Irpin in about 1936 and from Irpien my two g-grandfathers (in 1937 and 1941) were exiled to Siberia. Can you recommend an archive or somewhere I can find information pertaining to their arrests, as well as information (census records, etc.) of my family in this area? I believe Irpien is near Kijev.

Best regards

Hi Hannia,

I tried email vadym@vadym.com and the email bounced back. Could you please confirm this address for me?

Thank you
