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
