Sokolototska/ Daskaluk - Poland and Austria

[sharma.fraser]

Greetings all 

I have recently started researching my husbands side of the family.  It is proving a little more difficult than my own.  I was hoping that some one out there may also be searching some of the branches of this crazy tree!

I have gleaned some from family. The distant family is also sending me some more info, but i the mean time I thought I would run with what I have and see where it takes me.

Here is the snippets of information that comes from my mother-in-laws cousin:

Katernina Sokolototska was born in Austria in circa 1894, sent by family to a family friend in Montreal, Quebec at the age of 15/16. I do not know the town but I hear she had a sister and her grandmother and Uncle used to hide young soldiers who did not want to go to war and they were caught and punished. I also hear (from Aunt) that they made the history books. Does anybody know where I could find this reference in the history books?

My grandfather (her 2nd marriage) Alaxa Daskaluk (Doskaliuk) came from a town Zebreowski (according to birth cert. of my Aunt). The town was in Poland or Russia or Ukraine but the cert. says Russian. Where is this town? I have searched but can not find it. He was born in circa 1887.They were married in Montreal, Quebec in 1920.

I think her questions hold true and i was just wondering if anyone out there had any ideas or suggestions. 

All the Best

It's possible that this is the place you are looking for. Different spelling... so it's just a start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zborowskie,_Silesian_Voivodeship

JewishGen has two possible places too.

For Austria/Poland you should be looking at the bottom third of the country and a little into Ukraine.

edit: the spelling of the names suggest Ukraine. 'uk' in Daskaluk is a Ukrainian form.

 - is this marriage in 1927 relevant? Euphrosina Kostiuk b. around 1909, Montreal, father George, mother Catherine Sochlotocka?
Married a Theodore Daskaluk from "Bucovina".

Do you know the religion of the family?

I also found this information, but i have no confirmation if it links up.  I have a feeling it does - just have to figure out how ...

I am uncertain of the religion.  There is alot of drama and half truths in the generation that leads to this generation i have posted here in the family.  My mother in law lost her mother ( daughter of Kathrina)in a crash when she was 7.  Her father refuses to ever talk about it and disconnected from that side of the family.  There has been some contact in recent years, but it is new.

Thank you for the information tho,

This is in response the posting (2009) of my cousin's daughter-in-law regarding the searches I have been doing over the years in finding my grandparents' birth villages.  It is difficult to find information on them as they never became citizens of Canada nor land owners.  They more or less stayed under the radar all their lives.  The  information is too recent to be released. I can not find her in the 1911 census in Montreal. The 1921 census has not been released as yet. I might add that the chest that my grandmother kept all her papers and treasures was burned shortly after her death in 1943.
The marriage in 1927 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada is for my Aunt Rose to her first husband (name is spelled differently as well).  I am feeling pretty good about finding this marriage as it will help in my search for my grandmother. Thank you for that posting of marriages in Wentworth 1927. The surname is always spelled differently from one source to another. For example, in the copy of the marriage to her second husband (my grandfather) it is Sokolotowska and the obituary for my grandfather and funeral home records reads Salotska.  As for religion, it is Ukrainian Orthodox although they were married in the Russian Orthodox Church in Montreal.
I feel like a detective.
I am new to RootsChat and I am looking forward to checking the forums.

possible name: Sokołowska

you might also find: Sokołowski

the letter 'L' has a line through it ( ł )

google will bring up a few people with this spelling.

my grandmother's last name is Daskaluk, but apparently that was how it was translated when she got to montreal or she didn't know who to spell it.  I found that she had a juvenille file from 1929 and on it her name was Duskalouh or Dasklak.  funny that you mention hiding soldiers, because in the onset of her alzheimers, she mentioned having people hiding under her balcony.  She was born in 1916 and according to the 1929 court file, she was motherless.  I will have to dig out her birth certificate to verify her parents names.

Lolieworm,
I am afraid this is not the same person.  My grandmother was born in 1893 and died in 1943 of a massive heart attack in Hamilton, Ontario. Daskaluk was the name my grandfather eventually used although in the Canada Census for 1921 it was Doskaliuk or some derivative.
Good luck with your research!
