I'm stuck on a fellow born 1886 in the Ukraine/Russia. Religion is Greek Orthodox.

He was in Canada and married by 1917. I'm hoping to learn where exactly he came from and who his parents were.

His name is Peter Cooshek. Original spelling may have been Kywek.

Suggestions or help in searching?

    Charlotte, Thank you for contacting FamilySearch Community.

    We understand that you are trying to find Peter Cooshek's (Kywek) origin and parents.

    We would need a lot more information, such as... Where in Canada was he married, who did he marry? Etc.

    We have a couple of suggestions:

    1. If you have this information you might try using the link below that explains how to search FamilySearch records collections.
    2. You could click on Groups in the left-hand column, then find the Canada Group and/or Russia Group. Perhaps they may have some tips for you too.

    Thank you.

    He married Catherine Ponolnsky (Polny). Their first child was born in Ontario, Canada in 1917. Their other 2 children were born in Ontario in 1920 and 1922. I have been unable to find them on census records for 1921.
