There were many Dziadyks/Dziadiks in Czyrna Poland (formerly in Galicia). The Mormon church has microfilmed records for Czyrna running from about 1770 to 1903. It's interesting to note that my grandmother came from Czyrna Poland/Austria, but some family members believe she is Russian and comes from Czechoslovakia. Sounds similar to the situation in your family. This is probably because of confusion between Rusyn and Russian, and the fact that Czyrna is located in an area which was actively seeking to become part of Czechoslovakia after WWI. >-----Original Message----- >From: DOchoa7228 [SMTP:dochoa7228@AOL.COM] >Sent: Saturday, March 29, 1997 3:57 PM >To: GEN-SLAVIC@MAIL.EWORLD.COM >Subject: Hunzd-Dziadik-Granniss HELP HELP HELP! > >I am looking for information on any of these surnames.
