Looking for Ukrainian Ancestry
I am looking for any info on my ancestry. My father is Orest George Romanyk, B: Dec. 2, 1931 Toronto. His father was Yurko Romanyk B: June or Sep./6, 1900 in Juriw, Western Ukraine.Yurko was one of 9 brothers and sisters. Emigrated to Canada 1928. Greek Catholic. His mother is Levka (Eleanor) Chaikovsky [ Chajkowskyj or Czajkowskyj ] B: June or Sept. 6, 1904 in Staryi Sambir, Western Ukraine. One of 5 or 6 brothers and sisters Emigrated to Canada 1928. Greek Catholic. Orest was an only child, and I am an only child. My father and I would like to find out about our Ukrainian ancestry, and if there are any other relatives from our line.

Christopher,
I have attached a list of Romanyk names in the United States.
For Canada phone book use: http://www.numberway.com/phone-numbers/59/
This is the online phonebook in Lviv (near Sambir) http://www.lviv.net/tel/form.php?PHPSESSID=bbe8ad3d1c74acad316f7a33d439ba6f . You would need to search for Романик (i.e. Ukrainian for Romanyk). I struggled to translate Ukrainian to English. I use google.com language translation to make it easier.
The website for Lviv, Ukraine is http://www.lviv.ua
I hope you can read/write Ukrainian!
Good Luck!
