    1. [PBS] Hujsko Dombromil Poland
    2. Barb & Spence Gludish

    3. I am looking for some direction. I have anecdotal info that a Ukrainian relative was born in 1911 in Weiska??? near Hujsko Dombromil Poland. He indicated to family that he fled to Canada to to avoid conscription into the army but was worried about reprisals to his family left behind Although he spoke Ukrainian and indicated that was his heritage he associated with Polish assistance groups when he arrived in Toronto Canada in 1926. He changed his name and I have no knowledge of the original family name or details about the birth family. Was there a town call Weiska? My spelling may be wrong. Did this area change from Polish to Ukrainian control and back again over time? What port would he arrive from? I would appreciate any help Cheers Barb in Toronto
