Genealogy / Turkiewicz, Czajkowski - Looking to connect with people with ties to Dobropole [13]
My great grandparents were Wladimir Turkiewicz and Anna Czajkowski. They were born in Dobropole, Galicia, Austria-Hungary. Today Dobropole is in Ukraine, between Tarnopol and Buczacz. They both immigrated to the United States in 1912. After immigrating Wladimir went by the given name Walter. The families were in Baltimore (Curtis Bay), Maryland and Vandergrift, Pennsylvania before settling in Hamtramck, Michigan in the early 1920s.
Other surnames related to my family in Dobropole include Witwicki, Oracz, Chomicki, Bohun, Bartoch, Kruszelnicki, Blauciak, Monastyrski, Wegrzynowski.
I recently hired a researcher in Ukraine to investigate my family and his report added many names to my tree. In addition it created a lot of questions. The Czajkowski name is prolific in Dobropole and found in both in both Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic records. I would like to know how all of these names tie together, who were some of the first settlers, when did they come to Dobrople, and where did they originate?
I would like to hear from anybody related to these families, hear their stories, and learn any history about Dobropole or the area in general.
