Polonlus3, Yes, this is the monumental task I have been facing. Even once he settled on Petrowski, the census takers in the US spelled his full name three different ways. On top of that Khrabuzna has been spelled several different ways. There is a lesson here somewhere I am sure. It must be so. I have found several "Petraszczuk surnames in the former Galicia. Very very few in Poland. Even Petrowski is rare there. My grandfather's brother immigrated also and changed his name to Piotrowski. So far it has been all of these names related to him unequivically.
Luwik Petraszczuk
Ludwig Petraszczuk
Ludwik Petroski
Ludwig Petrowski
Louis Petrowski...
Khrabuzna
Chrabuża
Chraburna
Hzabusnia
Quite the ride.
Now I am searching out the ship manifests and have only found 1 possibility. It is here:
Ludwik Petraszuk. Is this Djadek? He did arrive at Phila. His mother's name was Anastasia. He was a Polish Russian (Czar Russia I believe). But is Ratusno equal to Khrabuzno?
Thank you for your interest.
Mod: Thanks for watching. Link corrected.
TheOther, It turns out as far as initial testing that I am 9.99% East Europe. No Russian. No German.
