This is a wonderful resource, but I would like to see some answers to the questions above. My grandparents came from Touste, now Ukraine.

In reply to Sheldon W. Hello, Sheldon! Are you still looking for Antonivka? I am Mykhaylo, from Galicia, now called Halychyna, and there are even 2 villages of Antonivka here, one in the Sryi District, and another in the Zhydachiv District, both in the Lviv Region in the historic province of Halychyna of Ukraine. Which one suits you more? Regards, Mykhaylo (you may Email me directly at:MykhayloKlen@gmail.com)

Hello, we have a ship manifest from Ellis Island (1905) listing family as coming from “Dobzina” and ethnicity as “Austrian-Polish.” I’m trying to figure out if that is most likely what is today Dobšiná, Slovakia or somewhere else. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I have been looking for Valinien. Ancestor Anton Lemke and family fled to Valinien to the east around the 1880s due to a Polish uprising. Same for Johann Hauptfeisch & family who fled from the same village in either Silesia or Galicia or Subcarpathian Poland. I believe they live in Galicia and in the 1880s escapes to Valinien to raise their families which ended up with Johann Hauptfeisch marrying Ida Lemke (Lamke) around 1887 to 1888. Can you help? I have spent a week searching for Valinien and would love to know what village they fled to survive. Anton Lemke who was blind escaped with a rope around his neck.

Сьогодні випадково натрапив на ваш ресурс, який мене дуже зацікавив. Я народився підчас Другої світової війни в містечку Делятин, що в передгір’ї Карпат. Від 1961 р. мешкаю у Львові, але моя “мала батьківщина” назавжди в моєму серці і від тривалого часу пошукую будь-які інформації про колишніх делятинців і їх нащадків, історичні факти, пов’язані з цією місцевістю, а також фотографії мешканців і всіляких об’єктів на цій території. Все це потрібне для написання правдивої історії про Делятин у фактах і іменах. В цьому містечку крім українців і поляків проживало чимало євреїв, кількість яких сягала в певний період більше 40%, але майже всі вони були знищені в часи голокосту. Відізвіться делятинці всього світу!

My grandparents came separately to NYC from Hungary in the late 1880 . From a tiny village near Budapest.called gellnitch probably not spelled this way but pronounced gell nitz. My grandfather was a Tailor in the old country and his name was immediately changed from Alexander vrabley to waraby…my grand mother was ottelie schwartner.

In reply to Harold wolfe. "Lemberg" in German from the Astro-Hungarian Empire to which it belonged and coincidentally Yiddish a form of pigeon German widely spoken in that area at the time. Bruckenthal a compound German word literally meaning Valley of the Bridges
