                                      Hi everyone! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm looking for Szum members of the family. Szum were originally from Tarnawatka, Poland. I tracked down to my grand-grand-grandfather. His name was Andrej Szum (Андрей Шум) and he was born in approximately 1850, died around 1930. His wife was Fekla Stirko (Фекла Стирко/Стирков), born in approximately 1858. They had 12 children, 6 of which died early. The rest of the children were refugees to Russia, Orenburg in 1915. Names as follow: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ivan Szum, born 28 September 1879 &lt;br /&gt;
Ekaterina Szum, born 29 August 1881 &lt;br /&gt;
Andrej Szum, born 18 October 1885 &lt;br /&gt;
Alexander Szum, born 20 August 1887 &lt;br /&gt;
Petr Szum, born 29 June 1893 &lt;br /&gt;
Anastasia Szum, born 22 December 1895 &lt;br /&gt;
Stefan Szum, born 1 August 1899 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have also managed to locate that Andrej Szum's father was also Andrej Szum (birth date approximately in the late 1700s). Andrej Szum had at least one brother - Ivan Szum, born in 1844. Ivan had a wife Maria Klysz. They had at least one child - Piotr Szum, born on 23 August 1892. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have also come across other Szum family members and I suspect they were brothers to Andrej Szum: Nikolay Szum (1844) and Osip Szum (1858). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would really appreciate if there anyone else who has some information about Szum family or maybe searching for the same one.</description>
