Hi! From Nova Scotia, Canada...

I hope that this message finds everyone in good health... I have, recently, been doing research on the Ukraine and its culture...Grandfather came to Canada in 1918-19...not sure...I don't know much about him...I look forward to getting to know some Ukrainians on this site...

Take Care & Stay Safe,

Hi:
Welcome to the list. There are many knowledgable people here, willing to help
Just a suggestion.
You may have to post a bit more information to get some results. Did grandfather settle in the Maritimes? I don't think many did. They mostly settled in Ontario or the prairies.
Good luck with your search.

Hi! there...

Grandfather settled in Timmins, Ontario.......Thanks for your post..I will be adding more info as soon as I am able...

If he settled in Timmins, then he probably was a miner. I think it was gold mining, underground. I understand many immigrants from Ukraine settled in the area because of the mining.

My father who was born (1922) in Lvov area in Ukraine did mention that his father had emigrated or perhaps sought work in Canada to support his impoverished family. He was called Iwan and bro Michael who was shot by the Germans during the second world war invasion. The family name is Kraczkowski and there should still be family property and land in the area. Hope you find what you are looking for. Kindest regards from a similar heart searcher. Michael.
