| szvorsky: Re: Zvurszki | Ferencz Lvurszki, if my great grand father. I had ellis island changed the L to a Z.
Feodor Zvurs'kyj, I have his birthcertificate.
The family name now is Zvurs'kyj. He came over from Patakos listed as a Ruthenian. I have travel back to Patakos this year. I found his father tombstone Jurko Zvurs'kyj and Have met the decendents of Feodor's know 11 siblings, All still live in or around Patakos. Feodor's mother was Jula Maskarinecz.
He married Borka Szvida daughter of Feodor Szvida and Mara Kost' from Patakos.
The family story from Patakos states that a man(first name unkown) came from Krakow around 1795is and had at least one son name Matvij in Patakos, then Matvij had Jurko. Looking for more info.
Also there is a river Zvur close to Patakos, and also the village of Zvur/Zwor/Zvir/Zvor near Stary Sambor that may led to the family name.
Recently found USSR Documents of a Nikolaj Zvursky from Vasil'Kovka(Keiv) area.
there must be some documents from the Austria-Hungarian Empire . I have found our name in the 1829 Census for Patakos...line 1 form the village ..showing what I believe in A Mich Zvurszki.
