Genealogy / I am 1/8 Polish on my mother's side - not Polish enough / Lithuania and Zmudz in Poland's ancestry [110]
Hello, my grandfather, Basil Karasevich b. 1890 in Fedorki Russia (maybe Ukraine) always said he was a "white Russian" when he was here in the United States. He also told my father that we had another family name "Zmud" I have found info that Zmud's were born near Ternopil and found a Fedorki close by. He was very secretive and never spoke much about his homeland and I've had a very hard time finding anything out. His mother's name was Zofia Blashkova. He came to the US in 1910 I thought maybe the family left behind changed their name to Zmud but maybe not, maybe he did when he left.
