This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

2 Brothers Came To Canada ~ Siblings Left Behind In Ukraine

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 10 (SIBLINGS)

In 1909 my great grandparents, Alexander & Mary (nee Maximiw) Pellack, immigrated to Canada from Ukraine.

They joined Alexander's brother Mikita who had immigrated 2 years earlier with their mother.

Left behind in Ukraine was the rest of the family.

I am unsure if I have the correct names/details for the siblings left behind.

This is what I have for the family

Parents:

Their children:

Mikita (Makita) (Myketa) Pellack
Birth FEB 1869 • Skoryky, Скорики, Ternopil's'ka Oblast, Ukraine
Death 1957 • Brooksby, Melfort Census Division, Saskatchewan, Canada

Alexander (Alex) Pellack (my great grandfather)
Birth 17 APR 1873 • Skoryky, Скорики, Ternopil's'ka Oblast, Ukraine
Death 22 OCT 1955 • Gronlid, Saskatchewan, Canada

Wolka Pellack
Birth Ukraine
Death Ukraine

Theodora Pellack
Birth Ukraine
Death Ukraine

Prokit Pellack
Birth Ukraine
Death Ukraine

AND half sibling (born to Mikihor after Mary went to Canada):
Netalie Pellack
Birth Ukraine
Death Ukraine
mother unknown

What I have recorded above comes from a cousin who visited Ukraine. 

I have not found any records for anyone except Alexander (my great grandfather) & his brother Mikita. 

All of the records I have found are Canadian.

I have found no actual proof from Ukraine

To assist in finding out more we are awaiting my dad's yDNA results.


When you aren't convinced you have found the facts!!! 



This is why I search - 


Cause ... 





You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
