If you know of any family please contact me via this e-mail address.

STUPAK: from stupać - eastern variant of stąpać (to step, walk)

SOROKA: eastern (Russian/Ruthenian) for magpie (bird); Polish - sroka.

The names from the original post, imho, suggest Ukrainian or Ruthenian origins. What religion were they?
But you need to start with figuring out their place of birth. Tereschiwka doesn't sound like a town but rather a village. Also there are no google results for it so most likely it's a misspelling (well it surely is as it doesn't look Polish). It might have been Teresówka but that's just a guess.

Schafranski is a germanised spelling of Szafranski.
