Does anyone know anything about the surname '' Hryshchuk' '' ?

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Its my great grandmothers surname she was from the border area of South Belarus and Northern Ukraine in the Polesie region. I know its spelt Hryshchuk translating it from Ukrainian and Belarusian and from Russian its Grischuk. Seeing its not Polish, (the family were orthodox) I am trying to work out if she was of Ukrainian or Belarusian ethnicity. What might you all think based on that surname and spelling? thanks

Genealogy / My father is half Polish and half Ukrainian is this a common mix in Poland and Ukraine ? [11]

I don't think highly of most poles '' I have met' that doesn't make me anti-polish.
and yes my mother is german origin. are you ok with that?
To make up a person you need to have 2 parents 50% x2 and from them 4 grandparents 25% x 4
I am happy to be Polish, Ukrainian and German :)
