Ancestry help - Koshelanyk

[shaunadavid]

Hi, I was on Ancestry.ca site and was hoping someone would do a look up to get more info for me. I came across it on Immigration and Emigration. It is titled - UK Incoming Passenger lists 1878-1906. I searched for Anton KOSHELANYK and came up with a hit for him but I can't see the Birth Year, departure or the date since I am not a member.

Can I ask someone to look it up and send me the information or the image. He is listed as arriving in Liverpool. Thank you so much. If you pm me I and         give you my email address. Thank you. Shauna

Merry Christmas to you too!!

Yikes! your fast!! Thank you. But it's not the one. Drats. He is one elusive ancestor.

Are the Canadian Passenger lists on Ancestry searchable by name? If so, can I trouble you to search there for me. He was born between 1872 - 1876 and coming from Galicia/Austria around 1897-1902 as he was married in 1903 and I have the Marriage cert.

He may have come alone or with 2 other brothers, but that is just a story.

Thanks again Shauna

At this stage I can not pin point him,

they may have spelt the name wrong, have been looking at some of the records  and even I cant transcribe them.

I was looking at the hamburg passenger lists  1850 -1934

Thanks, my best bet is the canadian records. I have searched the Hamburg records everywhich way to sunday, and I have no luck. There is one close one, but it is not him.

I'll have to go through the canadian records and see if I can find him. Thanks For your help!!

hello,

Try a spelling variation around: Koszelanyk

sh is more likely sz (but not certain)

[shaunadavid]

HI, It seems like I've tried everything I know of - spellings that are absurd, sound likes, letter replacements (K's sometimes look like R or H's), I have even searched by his first name or a variation thereof.

He just doesn't want to be found!!!! But I shall not give up hope LOL. I know he didn't flap his arms to get here, so there should be a record. It just depends how it was written and what the recorder heard when he spoke.

But I shouldn't laugh, English isn't an easy language to learn either. Thanks again for any help I can get!!

Hi shaunadavid,

if you google Koszalonyk you will get a Canadian census result.

It's the 1911 census and shows: Marry, wife, 1889. Machal, son,1907. Anna, dau, 1909.

The spelling makes it worth looking at. Or maybe the forenames  mean something to you.
