Hi Darlene - I don't recall getting a reply notice to my message and therefore I am very sorry that I didn't respond to your posting sooner !!

I am equally excited as well to make contact with you and to share and learn more about our Didur family connections.

My wife had 3 great uncles and her grandfather who were all brothers named Didur but when her grandfather arrived in Portage La Prairie, MB in 1902; his name was changed or interpretted to Gedir. A brief outline of this Didur - Gedir family is listed below.

Prokop Didur (1872 - 1946) b: 1872 in Peremilow, Chortoskow, Galicia near Tamopol, Ukraine d: March 1946 in Peremilow, Chortoskow, Galicia near Tamopol, Ukraine
Prokop has descendants who are still living in Saskatchewan, Ontario and the Ukraine.

Anges or Angus GEDIR (1878 - 1941) b. 31 Jan 1878 in Peremilow, Austria d. 3 Sep 1941 &.bp. Peterson, SK
Angus has descendants who are still living in Saskatchewan and Ontario.

Leon Didur b. He was born near Tamopol, Ukraine and he died somewhere in Manitoba where some of his descendants are still living there.

Paul Didur b. He lived & died near Tamopol, Ukraine where some of his descendants are still living there.

The following Didur family members were granted land in Western Canada as recorded below:

Perhaps your great grandmother Barbara Didur who married Ignatius (Hnatt) Muzyka (1868 - 1952); and her 3 brothers, John, Alex and Metro Didur are related to Prokop, Leon & Paul Didur and our Angus Didur - Gedir ??

Did your great uncles John, Alex and Metro Didur emigrate to Canada with their sister Barbara Didur ??

Thank you in advance and I will E-mail you directly as you requested. Gerald
