Hi, would love some information. Trying to trace my Great Grandfather's family. They immigrated from Kamonelthpodolski around 1880's. There was a mother (Victoria ZAKERIWISKI) and father (John Dimbisky), my great grandfather Stanislaw, and his two brothers. The word was that one migrated to Canada, One to Australia and the third returned home. Details of my great grandfather was born 04/10/1883 Stanislaw Dimbisky (surname could have been spelt slightly different also) in Russia/Poland. Really grasping at straws but would love any information.
Thanks
Lisa

Stanislaw (Stephen) naturalised in Australia in 1913, at which point he said he was from Kamaneth, Russia, having arrived 3rd April 1910. Born 1st October 1882 at Kamaneth Podolak, Russia.
I think the place may be Kamenetz-Podolsk /Kamyanets-Podilsky, and Dembiński and Zakrzewski may be the alternate spellings of the family names.
