Hi Seruca,

Good to know that you help others with their genealogy! That makes it all the nicer for me to share a tidbit of good news with you this morning. You know the link I posted yesterday for the wedding of Anna Orawska? I looked at it again this morning and realized that, despite the tear in the page, I can deduce that the name of one of the witnesses to her marriage was a Michael Boburka! See the second image, below. So, there may be a connection between the Boburka and Orawska families.

I found this because I decided to go through all of the Latin birth and marriage records of 1928 in Bitlia again, this time to see what I could find for the Boburka family. They were certainly active as godparents/witnesses in 1928, I think I'm up to 7 instances, involving Michael Boburka (in Polish, Michal), Eudoxia Boburka (in Polish, Eudoksja), Anastasia Boburka (in Polish, Anastazja) and Lucas Boburka (in Polish, Lukasz). For comparison, I am adding an image that shows Michael Boburka as a witness for a wedding (see first image, below).

I am still going through those records and if I find anything else of interest, I will let you know.

I am really glad to know you have a professional genealogist tracking down the marriage record from France because that will surely contain the names of Mike's parents as you said, but hopefully also confirm Bitlia as his place of birth.

Hi Sophia,

Sorry for just replying! I work for a tax attorney and it's tax season, so I've got a million things going on right now lol. So Aline shared DNA with a Michael Boburka. Ancestry lists him as a 3rd cousin or half 2nd cousin 1x removed. IF* I found the correct Michael, when doing more research, it does look like Michael had a sister named Anna. That could be the correlation with the documents that you found. I wanted to also mention, Aline shares DNA on her paternal side with a man named Walter Tiazkun. He is also projected to be a 3rd cousin or half 2nd cousin 1x removed with Aline. I was able to find his obituary, however it listed nothing because those were his wishes...however, from that, I was able to locate Walter's brother's obituary (Elias "Babe" Tiazkun.) On Elias's obit, it states his parents were Frank & Mary Boburko Tiazkun. I haven't had much time to dig any further, but I plan to do that as soon as I have a chance.

Here is the link to Elias's obit: https://obits.pennlive.com/us/obituaries/pennlive/name/elias-tiazkun-obituary?id=14596711&_gl=1*1xpoqz8*_gcl_au*MTIzNjMyNzg1OS4xNzY2NTE1MTgx

Hi Trish,

Thanks for posting all of these records! The ship manifest is particularly interesting, as it shows Butla as Marya Buburka's place of birth. Understanding the geography of a place is one of the most helpful things in genealogy. Butla is one of the alternative spellings for Bitlia, which was in Galicia within the district of Turka. Her father's name is written on the manifest as Michaylo Buburka and her brother, already living in Pennsylvania, is written as Michal Buburka.

I think, Seruca, that the DNA matching shows that this Boburka/Buburka family is of importance to your research. This manifest agrees with what we already saw from the Arolsen documents, that Bitlia/Butla is where they are from. Also, the church records from FamilySearch showed that there were also Orawski family members in the same town. The remaining task is to find some concrete evidence of how these two families connect.

Hi Seruca, Sophia, and Barb,

DNA doesn't lie so we know that the Boburka/Buburka family is related. I am attaching a "cousin's chart" which will help figure out how the Boburka/Buburka family is related to Aline.

Sophia, thank you for reading the manifest, Least it shed some clues.

Barb, missed your post earlier so I'm just waving hello!

Regards,
Trish

Hi Trish,

I like that cousin calculator! I have not seen that before. I'm adding it to my collection of useful things.

Hi Seruca,

I am attaching part of a map for you and also providing a link to where you can find the whole map so you can download it if you'd like. The file is too large to attach here.

https://polona.pl/item-view/8e2edbe2-8fba-4d63-af47-98b679aa86f5?page=0

This is a map from 1922 showing Butla. To find it on the map, go to the left-most edge of the map and find the line of latitude marked 49 degrees. Now go east and you will see Butla just beneath that line of latitude. If you look closely at Butla, you will see a symbol next to it, a square with a cross above it, indicating a church.

If you are curious to see where Orawa is (a town that may or may not have any connection to your family name), then look at the distance you travelled from the left edge of the map to Butla, and go about twice that distance east from Butla, and then head south. You should see Orawa there.

Enjoy!
Sophia

Thank you Sophia! I am taking all of this information in and following the leads that you've provided! If I don't respond immediately, just know I check on this site everyday for more info that people provide and place it in a file to research when I can. I just wanted to let you know that your efforts are not unnoticed and very much so appreciated. Thank you again for all of your help! I will definitely update on my findings.

Trish, this is such useful information. I did see it when you posted and went straight to researching before replying. I have been digging into the Tiazkun's since you posted. I feel like I am on the cusp of finding something. Almost like "it's on the tip of my toungue." I appreciate all of you help and effort and will update once I find something of interest that will help our search. Thank you again! Talk soon!

Hello everyone,

I have not been actively involved in this case, partly due to broken reading glasses, which makes me quite limited in what I can read online.
Nevertheless, I have gone through your posts to see if I can contribute anything. As Sophia mentioned earlier, there is not much available online.

Based on my experience, the family most likely belonged to the Greek Catholic Church. In that case, one should search the church records from Butla. If they were Roman Catholics, then the records from Borynia would be relevant. See image.
FamilySearch offers some here:
https://www.familysearch.org/no/search/catalog/results?q.place=Borynia%2C%20Turka%2C%20Galizien%2C%20%C3%98sterrike&subjectsOpen=133492089-8

I also found some material from Butla. The description indicates births/marriages/deaths for the years 1921–1926, but in reality it only contains marriages and deaths, and no births. This is unfortunate, as 1921 would be particularly interesting for us. I can see the surnames Boburka and Orawski.

I am attaching the link and will take a closer look as long as my eyes can manage to focus on the text. The sources are in Ukrainian and Polish.

Hi Barb,

Thank you for looking into this for me. I actually heard good news from the Polish Genealogist that hired to try to find more information. He said he found Mike and Lucie's marriage certificate! He said he will send later tonight! YAY! Hopefully it has Mike's parent's names on there! Will update once I receive it!

Hi Sera,

Successfully uploaded! Thanks.

So, I see that Mike's name really was Mieczyslaw, which I was not expecting (I thought he would be Michal) so that is very useful to know. His father's name is written as "Vaseyle" (in Polish, Bazyli) (in English, Basil). It looks like his mother was Maria Jacejka (in Polish, the surname Jacejko is used for males and Jacejka for females). And there is that spelling of "Bitlap" again for his place of birth. No mention of any Boburka/Buburka connection in this document.

Mike's birth date is given as November 11, 1921 and he was 24 years old when he married.

All good info!

Here is an example, from the 1928 birth records of Butla/Bitlia, of the surname Jacejko. The child's paternal grandmother was Maria Jacejko and the midwife was Anna Jacejko.

Here is a link to the page where that record is found:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS9X-K92Y-H?cat=koha%3A2018419&i=692&lang=en

So now we are able to see in Butla/Bitlia all of the surnames that are connected to your family: Orawski, Jacejko and Boburka/Buburka. Even the name Tiazkun is on this same page as Jacejko. I am not yet able to find your family in Butla, most likely due to the limited availability of records online. Hopefully Barb is having better luck.

P.S. Your title for this thread includes the surname Jarockzo, which I don't think you have ever mentioned in our discussion. Now I am wondering if it is someone's mis-reading of the name Jacejko. Your thoughts?
