Cannot find any Romanyk in Ukrainian telephone directory

The reason your search on the Ukrainian - Russian phonebook website did not find Romanyk was because you need to enter the name using Ukrainian letters. So Romanyk would be Романик

Once you have a grasp of the alphabet you would enter the Ukrainian letters into a Ukrainian Keyboard to make the Ukrainian name or word. Then copy/paste the name from the keyboard into a document, website entry, etc.
