Genealogy / Locating a place name found on immigrant ship passenger list (Ellis Island). Sochowski / Międzygórze? [4]
Thanks for your help. My family name is Sochowski ,however I believe this was not the original spelling. My grandfather's name on his birth/baptism certificate was Demetrius Soczowskyj, on his Naturizilation certificate his name is Dmytro Soczowski. On old map from the early 1970's I have has the name" Mezhirichi " circled as being grandfather's birthplace.
The names Miedzygwent and Międzygórze both appear on the Immigration passenger list with "Gal".( Galacia) as the state. The handwriting to difficult to read. There is a Dmytro Soczowsky listed who would be about the right age. I am trying to determine if this might be my grandfather and if he possibly immigrated with a brother. There is an Oliksa Sochowsky listed above him. There is no record of this person in Canada and all of the people with the Sochowski name in Canada are related to me. The name is more common in the United States. It would be interesting to find out if some of them could be distant relatives.
