My great-great grandmother was Fedora (Dorothy) Stephanova Korenchuk (b. 1881), and she married Nicholai (Nick) Kirilovich Rovenko in Ukraine in 1900. They immigrated to the North Dakota, USA in 1903 as a result of persecutions against Christians by the Russian Orthodox Church. They traveled from Hamburg to Halifax via the ship Assyria, and took trains to North Dakota. Dorothy's family did not come with them, but Nick's parents (Kirilo and Cycletta Rovenko) and one of his brothers (Max) did. As a result, I don't know too much about Dorothy's family, and what little I do know came from the Rovenko Family Cookbook, which is fairly limited in informational data.

What I do know is that Dorothy's parents were Stephan Yakimovich Korenchuk and Alexandra Tarasovna Shkolnya. Stephan's father was Yakima Korenchuk (which someone probably derived by looking at Stephan's name). I would appreciate any help in finding additional information about these people.

Read your message on Kornechuk's. My wife's father was
from the Ukraine and his original name was spelled
Korneichuk and when he came to America it was changed
to Kornchuk. My wife's fathers name was Paul Kornchuk.
Nearest village was Rodoshoka and nearest big city was
Grodno. This may not be the correct spelling. Paul had
five brothers and one sister. He settled in the Chicago
area and then moved to Connecticut and then to California
in the 40's. I have been unable to locate the village
or town listed on any map so I think the spelling is way off
from what information we have. We of course would like
to trace down his brothers in Russia but have had very
little luck in finding any information. Paul settled near Skokie
Illinois when he was in the Chicago area. We may not have
any connection other than the Korneichuk name.

My grandfather Maxim lived in Michigan. According to his social security application his father's name was Nick and his mother's name was Mary Kurria. Not sure if these names help. He could speak and write Russian.

I was once told that my Grandfather had brothers when he came from Russia. One went to the US and he went to Canada (Montreal). Have you had any leads to Montreal Quebec. There were some relatives that came over around the same time, but when immigration spelled their names they changed the 'e' to an 'a'.

I just wanted to post an update. Paul Andrew Kornechuk jr. who has recently posted on this site, and I are second cousins. My Grandfather, Andrew John Kornechuk, and his father were brothers. Paul has given me information regarding our family. As Paul mentioned..our family came here in 1908. There were several brothers that arrived..can anyone offer any information regarding any Kornechuks arriving in the Boston Area from Minsk in/or around 1908?

Andrew John Kornechuk (born 1919- died 1986) had a son named John Andrew Kornechuk, and a daughter named Andrea Joan Kornechuk.

Hello,

I am the grandaughter of Andrew J. Kornechuk born and died in Massachusetts. (1919-1986) I am trying to do a family tree. One of his parents came from Russia and the other from Poland..only I am not sure which..I am assuming his father (Kornechuk) came from Russia. Please email me if you have any information.

Thank you.

Our Paul Korneichuk came to America in 1910 or 1912.
His brothers names were Cacian,George, Nicon, Pancrati,Phiojil, Sergei. Spelling may not be all correct.
Have very little records on him and cannot find any
records on Ellis Island Records. He lived near Grodno in
the village of Radishoka, or Radushoka and it was near
the Poland boarder.

Please also note change of e-mail address

In regards to Candy Woods message Paul Kornechuk
had the folowing brothers: Pancrati,Phiogil,Cacian, George
and Nicon. According to some notes Paul had 7 brothers and one sister. Names are not known of the other brothers
or sister. Paul came over around 1910. No accurate information as yet. Paul was naturalized Sep 30, 1924. No
immigration papers yet.

What were the names of Paul's siblings? And what year did Paul come over from the Ukraine? Could you get his immigration papers?

What little I have

2000-05-14 22:11:20Z

My mother, Zenovia (about 1-1/2 years old) with her mother (Maria Stolorova -- aka "Carpenter") and her about-6-year-old sister, Sonya, came over on the ship, The Czar in 1914 to meet "Grampa" Sasha who had come here a couple of times over the years. My mom still has her immigration papers (but we haven't been able to put our hands on them as yet). My cousin, son of Sonya does have Sonya's papers which I am obviously anxious to see, but I don't know if ANYBODY has either of the folk's papers. Gramma's (Maria Stolorova)'s mother was an albino and died before Gramma was 9 years old. Her father died shortly after her and she ended up as the family breadwinner at the ripe old age of 9 years of age working in a china factory putting teacup handles on teacups. Her younger sister (about 8 years old) "stayed at home" to take care of the 2 little brothers. Her family set up the marriage to Sasha when she was still young (though I don't have that age at my fingertips). All I really know about Sasha is that he was a smallish man with several very large brothers. (All of Grampa's younger pictures look like Czar Nicholos) and although his father gave him land, he either sold it to or gave it to his brothers to come to the US to set up something BESIDES farming. Right now, that is about all I know, however, Mom has been rummaging through a lot of "old stuff" and could (hopefully) come up with something anytime now.

If you don't mind, I would like to "tuck" your grandparents into our tree with the hope that we will soon find a link somewhere. I will keep in touch as I hear from cousins and aunts and the like

Stephanie: Have you tried to use People Finder on the Internet? Using Netscape, I find several listed. There are other search engines you could try if you have not already done so. This comes from an uncle of Candy Wood, also interested in ancestry but with a spelling heretofore understood as limited to Korneychuk. The will of Grigory Maximovitch Korneychuk, my grandfather on my mother Vera's side, shows that he was born in the village of Kosiakovka, about 60 to 70 miles south of Kiev. Do you have any comparable information on the origin of the clan with a spelling of Kornechuk?

I just knew there had to be more Kornechuks

2000-05-09 21:52:31Z

OH -- WOW -- (please forgive the shouting) but I think we're onto something here!!! My grandfather, Sasha Kornechuk started coming over here [leaving a small family at home near Kiev] around 1910, looking for a "good place to settle" and eventually ended up near Lansing, MI after looking at both New York and Chicago. I KNOW that he had many brothers and that he was "the runt of the litter." His father was a land barron of some sort and Grampa and his brothers were all given large tracts of land to farm but Grampa wasn't good with animals or farming and became a blacksmith engineer. Here in Michigan he worked for an automobile company until the Depression when his accent lost his job for him. I can only imagine that a brother or two, maybe a cousin or two, eventually came over too but so far YOU, my fair lady, are my only clue. My Grandmother was Maria Stolrova (think that is = to "carpenter" had two brothers. Mom thinks that at least one of her brothers came over and a few of her cousins came much later.

This is probably pretty gangly for a bullitin board but I am just so excited. I sure hope you have encouraged a few others out of the woodwork. Please feel free to contact me. After I simmer down a bit, I will think of other things and will contact you! Thanks for your response!!!!

Fondest regards!!

According to a 1899 will, Grigory Korneychuk died in the village Ostrovsky, Solomensky volost, Alexandrovsky district, Stavropol province, Russia. He died July 18, 1899. I can not find this village on a map, however.
