About Me

Welcome to my new family research blog site. U*nfortunately, I have not been able to transfer the old blog articles from the old site to this new one. But with today’s technology you can access and view the old articles (which I will be selectively moving to this site manually) by accessing them via the Internet Wayback Machine.

My name is Taras (Terry) and I have been researching my family history for over 10 years.  I started because I wanted to find out more about my Uncle Wasyl Iwaniw.  Since then I have built up a fairly large data file about my family.  Much of my research has been detailed in my previous blog.  Due to circumstances that were beyond my control I lost access to my previous blog, My Family Research Blog.  So, now I have this new site and will be updating the blog entries as new information becomes available.

This is where I will be posting the results/findings from my research efforts.  Here you will also find information and resources that I think will be useful to other genealogy researchers that are researching their family history.  Although this blog is specific to my family research,

The family names I am researching are: IWANIW, SMOLII/SMOLIW, TYZBIR, BOIKO/BOYKO.
