It translates as "miller." Both my grandfathers emigrated from Galicia, one by the last name Melnyk. Let's touch bases, if you'd like. My Melnyk grandfather came here about the time Peter was born. But, who knows, we may be related. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
