I have just found out my grandmother might have come from a village called Yuzhynets Austria Bukowina. Her name is Mary Medwed. ( Possibly Medvid) She was born June 1895. I can see the records on Family Search but I can't read them. Due to the fact, that they are not in English.
Is there anyone willing to take a peak to see if they can find her and if she had any siblings. I do know she had one brother Wasyl.
Any help would be appreciatd. Thanks

Dave, where do I find the link to Family Search. I can't see it. Thanks

Forget my question. I just had a brain fart. I know what you want me to do.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSS3-HS4B-H?mode=g&cat=1346952://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSSH-N9CQ-6?mode=g&cat=1346952
These are the two books with Medwed in them. In the first book, I have page 712, 724,725,732,734,738,746, 765,772,785, 789
These all have medweds in them but I can't read them. So not sure how close or far I am. Thanks if anyone can translate for me.

When I look at both of those books, looking at the "Information" tab at the bottom of the screen, the books don't seem to cover births for 1895. I will try to find one that does.

I have found what is probably her.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSSX-H48P-Y?i=540&cat=1346952
Image 541, entry 29
House 16. Born 19th, registered 20th July 1895.
Maria
Father Nikolai Medved (Vasilie)
not sure what the () part means, possibly the father's father? or
Mother possibly Euphemia(??) née Guralik, from Șișcăuți (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rynhach).
Then a godparent's name and the midwife.
There is a Vasilie Medved on image 546, but with different parents and in any case born only 7 months later (27th February).
Do not take any notice of the different spellings of the names, they depend on the language being used.

Earlier births from the same book (listed backwards in time)
Img 512, entry 35. House 16, b. 14 (reg 15) August 1892 Georgiy,
father Nikolai Medved (Vasilie), mother Euphenia Guralek from Shishkovci
Img 494, entry 32. House 16, b. 27 (reg 29) June 1890, died 5/1(?)/1891 Fevronia
father Nicolai Medvig (Vas.) mother Eufimia née Guralec
Img 475, entry 21. House 16, b.10 (reg 12) April 1887. Agafia
father Nicolai Medvig (Vas.) mother Eufimia née Guralec
Img 468, entry 17. House 16, Timoteiu, same details
Img 458, 2nd entry. House 16, b.29, reg 30 March 1884 Maria. Note says died 1/3 1895.
So your Maria was given the name of a daughter who had recently died aged 10.
There are at least 4 different Medved/Medvig families with children registered in that period, and on the earlier ones the "midwife" named is one Alexandra Medvig - some relation? Also the earlier entries are written in Romanian and easier to read than the ones in Russian.
Later I will look at the later dates for more siblings.

I didn't find any younger children born after 1895 up to 1901.
But some earlier ones including your Vasilie, he is possibly the firstborn, named after his grandad, 15 years older than Maria who was the youngest I found.
From the same book as my earlier post:
Img 442, 1st entry. House 16, b 18 bap 21 January 1882 Ioan. Note says he died 2/2 1917.
Img 430, 7th entry. House 16, b. 29 bap 30 April 1880. Vasilie
I noted that the dates I listed as "reg" are actually the baptism dates.
Parents' marriage:

Img 712, 6th entry.
House 16 & 65, 26 Oct 1878,

Eufimia dau of Alexi Guralec and his wife Maria née Polevanciuc of Iujineți, age 22.

Medwed/ Medvid means a bear
Nicolai Medwed and Eufimia Medwed nee Guralik most likely were Ukrainians (or Rusyns/Русины, as they used to call themselves back in the 19th century in Galicia)
Records on p. 541 are in Russian, it's the old orthography
