Research notes
|
I have an Aunt Justina and Uncles Mitro(1910) and Frank(1913) who were born in Wislok, Poland and immigrated to the United States through the port of Ellis Island on the dates shown. My Dad John(or Ewan/Ivan) immigrated to Canada in 1926 through the port of Quebec. I know there was an Upper Wislok(where my family came from) and a Lower Wislok. I visited the town site (the village was razed after WWII as part of the Vistula project) in 1995 but was unable to find it in 2008. I have not been able to find any information about their entry into the New World on the various genealogy sites I have searched, even though the is a plaque commemorating my Uncle Mitro at the Ellis Island Wall of Honor. I am hoping your web site will be a help.
My mother, Anna Pecko, came from Vulshinki (or Olshinki) which is now in the Ukraine but I think is still considered part of Galicia. I have been able to obtain her immigrated data but would like to delve deeper into her roots to see if and how a woman, who's grandfather with the same surname and born in Vulshinki, is related to me.
I would like to obtain mops showing these villages (Wislok and Vulshinki) and any pictures of them. |
