Surnames: KURYSZ, KURYSH, KURISH, KURESH
THESE 2 COUSINS ARRIVED IN CANADA IN 1911 ON "SAMLAND" FROM GERMAKOWKA, BORSZCSOW, WHICH WAS POLAND THEN BUT NOW UKRAINE. JAKEW WAS BORN 7th APRIL 1895.
ON ARRIVAL IN CANADA, JAKEW CHANGED HIS NAME TO JACK KURYSH AND LATER KURISH. HE WAS MY GRANDFATHER. HE DIED IN FORT WILLIAM (THUNDER BAY) IN 1934.I WOULD LIKE TO TRACE HIS COUSIN HNAT AND GET INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR PARENTS. I KNOW THAT THE 2 BOYS' GRANDFATHER WAS A WELL KNOWN ENGINEER FAMOUS FOR BUILDING BRIDGES. BOYS WERE MUSICAL.
I BELIEVE THAT THE YOUNG MEN HAD A FALLING OUT AND NEVER SPOKE AGAIN. ANY SUGGESTIONS WHAT "HNAT" MIGHT HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO
