Ukrainians Who Pioneered Farm Life in Canada Named Naherniak Family
The Naherniak family from Schmankiewche, Chortkiw region, led by Wasyl and Maryia, immigrated to Canada in 1900 settling near Russell and Rossburn. They built a log homestead, farmed, educated their 12 children, funded Ruthenia Church, and became prominent community figures with many descendants.
