The Kuzyk and Werbowecki Families

 

Updated September 6, 2010

 

For several years John Michael Kuzyk and others have been collecting paraphernalia in the form of photographs and lineage charts to trace our ancestry.They have managed to follow our roots from the present day to Hryhory Kuzyk and Apolonia Verblin to the year 1851 and geographically, to the small town of Ivaniwka, in the Ternopil region of the Ukraine.

 

John enlisted the help of his granddaughter Elizabeth Theresa Kuzyk who helped in a major way by putting into text her conversations with Annie (Kuzyk) Werbowecki.  Anne (Werbowecki) Morris has also given us much insight by conveying information about her mother Mary (Kuzyk) Werbowecki. 

 

Recently this project of our heritage has been passed to me.  I am now armed with stacks of papers, notes and pedigree charts of most relatives and I continue to gather more data as others contribute to this task.  Always feel free to email me at anytime regarding updates, corrections or whatever.

 

To see how the Family Tree is progressing you can visit three enirely different websites and yes, eventually a hard copy will be produced.

 

1.  A detailed description, in text format, of our roots.

Because of the detail this is a private site so no one else has access to it.The only way you can find it is by clicking on this link.  Bookmark it so you can easily refer to it. 

OR

2.  A graphic display of our Family Tree.

This is a public site so minimal information is available. There are pictures and an interactive Family Tree. Be sure to read the instructions at the site on how to navigate through the Tree. It is interactive and interesting to use, though you do have to be patient while a java applet loads. Through marriage other family trees are linked to us and if that information was available it is included.

OR

3.  A downloadable PDF file of the Family Tree.

This file can be downloaded, reviewed and printed at your leisure on your own computer. Acrobat Reader is needed to read the file and can be downloaded free of charge here.

 

Enjoy,

 

 

Sincerely,
