The Kuzyk and Werbowecki Families

Updated March 13, 2007

For several years John Michael Kuzyk has been collecting paraphernalia in the form of photographs and lineage charts to trace our ancestry.He has managed to follow our roots from the present day to Hryhory Kuzyk and Apolonia Verblin on a time line that returns to the year 1851 and geographically to the small town of Ivaniwka, in the Ternopil region of the Ukraine.

John had 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. Gathering more data is a major part and I ask you to encourage others to send what ever they have to me.

The second part of this task is to publish what has been collected and make it readily available for the family to see.The Internet will allow ongoing access while eventually a hard copy will be produced.For now you can see what has been assembled at two separate websites.

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.Be sure to bookmark it so you can refer to it and watch it for updates.

Or

2. A graphic display of our Family Tree.

This is a public site so minimal information is available.Be sure to read the instructions for its use. It is interactive and interesting to use, though you have to be patient while the java program loads.

3. A downloadable, graphic display of our Family Tree in pdf format.

http://www.wincom.net/~bernnewm/photoalbum/family/famtree.pdf

This file can be 7 megs in size so downloading can take a few minutes. Once downloaded you will need Acrobat Reader (everyone has it) to access it.

The email addresses of family members have been included below.Please send me others that you may be aware of, so I can include them.Remember this private site is available only to family members.

Feel free to check these sites often for updates and to help me maintain its accuracy.There is much to add so if you have anything to submit contact me.

Enjoy,

Bernie Newman
