Christina was born in 1882 in Zdynia, Galicia. My understanding is that she is the 1/2 sister of Saint Maxim Sandovich. They shared the same father Timothei Sandovich and different mothers. Christina's mother was Ksenia Kawula who was born in 1857. <br /> <br /> I am uncertain where Wasil was born and his last name seems to be different than what my family knew. Many have said that Powchak is Popochak. I do know that the two of them ended up in Yonkers, NY where they had my grandmother and her siblings. <br /> <br /> Any information would be much appreciated and welcome.<br /> <br /> Thank-you so much,<br /> Pam https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=36037#36037 PESteeves Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:25 pm https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=36037#36037
