Good Morning ...if anyone has time on their hands this morning ,I would appreciate any assistance in finding out about this village in Ukraine -
Knyahynychi - by Rohatyn ...
I received an attachment this morning from Ivano - Frankivsk Archives , Ukraine ...
AT LAST - we now know that my father in law was from the village of
Knyahynychi as there are records for the family in 1937 ...he was born 1927 ...( close to Rohatyn which is where we believed him to be from )..
Knyahynychi population in 2001 was 718 ...so a small village - no wonder my wife sent them clothes parcels until 1976 as they must have been poor people who were controlled by the Russians from 1930`s ...the Black Famine of Ukraine was in 1932 - caused by the Russian Oppression ...

anyway ...I have googled the village but almost all all links are in Ukranian ...
I am going to try and translate them ...but any help will be appreciated if anyone else can find info on Knyahynychi..
thanks
allan

cheers

Thankyou both ...just something about the village ...I would like to visit next May /June and would like to know as much as possible about the village ...
Kate ...thanks for the photos link ...that`s a bonus ...

ADDED...Thanks Kate ...great pictures ....still looks like a poor place doesn`t it ?....

That crack in the cottage wall looks a bit ominous.

However I think the village is in keeping with much of eastern europe. You will notice the modern buildings seem to be apartments.

My son's girlfriend's parents have just moved from a flat which was the norm and now has a house in 12/13 acres of land. Think she helped purchase it as western money goes a long way over there.

Her family came over for a visit and were amazed at the choice in the shops and the large supermarkets with food from all over the world - something quite alien to them.

Some more modern photos in this link, Allan. However, pic 7 is an old photo from the 1920s or 1930s showing men on a punt-like boat on the lake.

Don't you have to order the microfilm to your local FamilySearch Centre to look at it, Allan? :confused:

[garstonite]

Hiya Kate ....I didn`t know that ...lol...silly old custard aren`t I ...I just went on the link - put in Ostap Kabluckyj - no results came up - so I just put Ostap in - no results - and then Kabluckyj - no results ...so
How do I order the microfilm ?...do I have to go to a LDS office to view them ?? if so - where is the nearest to Liverpool please ...thanks
allan

The nearest LDS FH centre to you is this one:


Liverpool England Family History Center
4 Mill Bank
L13 0BW
UNITED KINGDOM

+44 0 151-252 0614

Hours Mon-Thur 10am-4pm.

You can't miss it as their church has a tall stained glass tower:

And as I understand it, you have to go there to order the microfilm, and you have to pay a small charge for that, then they notify you when it has arrived and you go back to view it.

[garstonite]

thanks very much Merry / Kate ...I know Mill Bank well...so no problems finding it ...appreciate your help...allan

[tenterfieldjulie]

Good luck Allan. I hope they can get it in for you quickly.

[garstonite]

Thanks Julie ....10 years now trying to find Ostap Kabluckyj records ....very frustrating...fingers crossed ...I will go next week on a nice sunny day ...lol

[JBee]

I think you actually order the films on line these days - well that's what I had to do a year or two ago.

You have to register and they email you when the films have arrived at the FHC.

The price has also gone up but the time given to view them has increased too.

[Olde Crone]

Allan - um, can you read Ukranian? Or are you hoping to guess most of it as it will probably be in a standardised format (church records usually are!).

[garstonite]

Thanks Julie - I will look in to that ...

OC ...someone from Canada sent me this link - I use it all the time now and have found it invaluable
