Another unique Alberta home from east central Alberta was added to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village’s collection of historic buildings and structures.
On Tuesday, April 1, the Meronyk house was moved to the village and will eventually be part of the site’s historic town site section. It will complement the already restored livery barn originally located from Radway, Alberta.
This house was built in the mid 1920s in Smoky Lake. Ini- tially constructed as a flat-roofed shack, it was home of the first horse and wagon delivery service operated by the Sko- reyko family. Within a couple of years, the operation had be- come a partnership between the Skoreyko and Lenko fami- lies.
People with connections to the historic home are coming forward, including the Lenko family children who grew up in the house and then moved to British Columbia after World War II. The donors of the home, Ms. Linda Meronyk and her father, Nicholas, are pleased to have contributed to the further development of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. Mr. Mero- nyk’s late father-in-law resided in the house in the 1950s.
The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village research staff is interested in hearing from anyone who had anything to do with the house or who might have photographs or documents that can help record the house’s history.

5 NEW PATRON AND PARTNERS FOR GENEALOGICAL PROJECT An honorary patron and two new partners have joined the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project in its mandate to help families interested in exploring their past in Alberta and Ukraine.
On 5 February 2008, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress–Alberta Provincial Council became the honorary patron of the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project. In support of this venture, the UCC-APC will encourage the full support of its members in documenting this part of Al- berta’s heritage.
The Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project is also pleased to announce that in February 2008, two new organizations partnered with the AUG project to help undertake the docu- mentation of church properties in rural communities in Alberta:
Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada (UCBC)– Edmonton Eparchy Ukrainian Self-Reliance Association (USRA)– Edmonton Branch
Beginning in May 2008, the generous financial support provided through these partnerships will allow fieldworkers to travel to rural church properties in east central Alberta. While at rural church properties, the project’s fieldworkers will work with volunteers to record and photograph cemetery tombstones and markers. The information and photographs collected through the “Documenting Church Properties in Rural Communities in Alberta” will be avail- able on the internet to those persons seeking information about their family history and rela- tives.

7 ALBERTA-UKRAINE GENEALOGICAL PROJECT UPDATE
Radomir Bilash, project manager of the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project, recently trav- elled to Ukraine on private business. While in Ukraine, Mr. Bilash did briefly visit the genea- logical research office in Lviv to review their progress in the project’s research requests to access documents and information from archives in Ukraine. ”We are relatively pleased with the progress of our research services in Western Ukraine,” says Bilash. As the proc- esses in undertaking such a research service over several oblasts is refined during these first orders, we anticipate a quicker response time to allow our clients to obtain records to complement their family history research.” The genealogical research office in Lviv has begun sending results for the requests for research services submitted in fall 2007. The Alberta office will contact clients of this research service as their files are forwarded.
The progress of the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project to help locate historic documents in Western Ukraine archives, as well as Radomir Bilash’s brief visit to the ancestral village of Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach, was covered extensively in print and electronic media in Ukraine. Please visit the following link to view an online article: http://20minut.ua/ news/120752
As many villages and rural communities in east central Alberta commemorate their centen- nial, new Centenary Program submissions that honour families who settled within the north- ern and eastern boundaries of our study area have been received. This includes pioneer families who settled in 1908 or earlier within the Radway, Smoky Lake and Spedden dis- tricts, as well as those who settled to the east in rural community and school districts such as Chornick, Buczacz, Krasnahora, Bohdan, and Slawa.
Centenary Pioneer Recognition Program – Ukrainian Day, Sunday, August 10, 2008
The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village will honour those families of ancestors who last summer received a centenary program certificate at this year’s Ukrainian Day event on Sun- day, August 10. A formal invitation containing specific times and details will be extended in early July.
Centenary Pioneer Recognition Program - Seeking volunteers
As a former registrant of the program, you can relate to the feelings of pride and joy to hear your family name announced at Ukrainian Day. On the other hand, you can also appreciate the effort to prepare a family’s application package. Similar to last summer, we are sending a call for interested volunteers to work within the Centenary Program office to assist and re- view Centenary Program submissions. Training will be provided and you will become better acquainted with various historical documents, resources and databases which, in turn, will assist you in your own quest for family history information.
Please contact David at 780-431-2324 to learn more about this unique volunteer experi- ence.
8 UKRAINE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH OFFICE VISITS CANADA
From May 25-June 7, representatives of the Ukraine genealogical research office visited Canada on a lecture and study tour to become better acquainted with archives and family history research in Alberta.
The Ukraine partner in the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project, this genealogical re- search office in Lviv coordinates the re- quests from Albertans to locate genealogical and family history documents in western Ukraine’s archives. Representing the Ukraine genealogical research office for this trip was Prof. Stepan Pavljuk and Dr. Ro- man Chmelyk, Director and Vice-Director respectively, of the Institute of Ethnology in Lviv.
As part of their study tour in Canada, they participated in the following activities during their two week stay in Canada:
Meetings with the Government of Alberta for discussions furthering Alberta-Ukraine ge- nealogical agreements on genealogical research and service for re-establishing family ties for people living in Ukraine and Alberta;
Meeting with, and lecture presentations for, Alberta partners of the AUG project; Tour of east central Alberta and the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village;
Tour of the Provincial Archives of Alberta and Basilian Father’s Museum in Mundare;
Tour to Stry, Alberta to participate in the commencement of fieldwork for the Document- ing Church Properties in Rural Communities in Alberta project
Lecture presentations at the annual conference for the Canadian Association for Ukrainian Ethnology, part of the larger Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences.
As part of their role in the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project, Prof. Pavljuk and Dr. Chmelyk discussed the status of the Ukraine genealogical research office in providing a ser- vice for Albertans to gain access to archival and family history documents from archives in western Ukraine. Results pertaining to research orders from the Lviv oblast study area were delivered to the Alberta genealogical research office.
The results of this tour will lead to more promising projects furthering families wishing to re- search their past in Alberta and in Ukraine.
9 THE LUZAN POST OFFICE: NOT JUST A “SHACK”
The Luzan post office, which first opened in 1913, was located in a rural community south- east of Andrew which was known as Czahar or Luzan. From 1919-25 and again from 1928-39, the postmaster at Luzan was Nikolai (Nick) Ziganash. The Ziganash family, whose ethnic origins were Ukrainian and Romanian, immigrated to east central Alberta from the village of Chahor in Bukovyna. When Nick Ziganash became the postmaster in 1919, the post office was located in the Ziganash house. Nick lost the postmastership for a period of time, but after his friend Alexander Bockanesky opened a grocery store on the Zi- ganash farm in 1927, Nick once again became the postmaster and a small building was moved next to the grocery store to serve as a post office. The post office was located next to the grocery store, probably because the store was in a prominent location next to a well- travelled road. The post office also brought additional customers to Alexander Bockanesky and gave both customers and members of the Ziganash family a place to socialize when not doing business in the post office.
The building which served as the Luzan post office from 1928 to 1939, and which is now located at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, was a simple structure which may have been a converted granary. Many of the people interviewed about their memories of the post office described the building as a “shack” or “just a granary.” The building was extremely small (about 14 x 24 feet or 4.27 x 7.32 meters), as not all the post office’s patrons would come for their mail at one time. The building was also unheated, as it was never used for extended periods of time. Because the post office was not designed for visiting, most peo- ple who came into the post office did not stay long. Local people preferred to socialize in the neighbouring grocery store. Most post office patrons remained in the building only for long enough to retrieve their mail or complete whatever other business they had planned.
The Luzan post office building in use as the Plains-Western Natural Gas field office in Willingdon, ca. 1964. Note the addition of the large win- dow and chimney. John Ziganash, son of the postmaster, is in front of the building.
10 The post office offered a variety of services. It allowed the people of the Czahar district to send and receive letters to and from the “Old Country” and elsewhere and also brought them newspapers, allowed the registration of mail, and offered postal notes (similar to money orders) for sale. Probably one of the most popular services offered at the post office was the delivery of clothing and other goods purchased from mail-order companies, often from the T. Eaton Company. The patrons of the Luzan post office probably went there most often to send and receive letters and parcels. The presence of a post office in the commu- nity allowed local people to easily place COD (cash on delivery) orders from catalogues. In- stead of sending money when they placed an order, customers could pay in cash at the post office when the parcel arrived.
Mail destined for Luzan was first shipped by train to Lamont and then hauled to Andrew with a team of horses as part of a 96-mile mail route which stopped at several east central Al- berta post offices. Mail began to be shipped to Andrew by train in 1930. George or Nick Zi- ganash picked up the mail in Andrew and hauled it to the Luzan post office, first stopping at the Zawale post office (four miles west of Luzan).
The Luzan post office was closed in 1939 and the district’s residents began to be served by rural mail delivery (this meant that mail was delivered directly to mailboxes on each farm). After the closure of the post office in 1939, George Ziganash moved the building to Ukalta, north of Andrew. George’s brother John and John’s wife Rose Ziganash later used the for- mer post office as a summer kitchen, which they called a khatchyna, on their farm south- west of Willingdon. When John and Rose Ziganash moved to Willingdon during the late 1940s or 1950, they also moved the former post office with them, and it was used by their children as a playhouse.
Beginning in about 1964, when John Ziganash began reading gas meters for Plains-Western Natural Gas, the post office building was used as the company’s field office. In 1967, John and Rose Ziganash donated the post office to The Heritage Village and Pioneer Museum at Shandro, where it remained for nearly four dec- ades. In 2004, the building was moved to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village.

11 FIELDWORK TO DOCUMENT CHURCH PROPERTIES UNDERWAY
On June 4, fieldwork for the Documenting Church Properties in Rural Communities in Al- berta officially kicked off at Stry, Alberta at the Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery.
In addition to the assistance of members of the local community, the kick-off for this project had an international appeal with three special guests from Ukraine participating in the cemetery fieldwork. Prof. Stepan Pavljuk and Dr. Roman Chmelyk, both of the Ukraine ge- nealogical research office, participated in fieldwork as part of their study/ lecture tour in Canada to become better acquainted with archives and family history research in Alberta. The third special guest was Dr. Maryna Hrymych, whose husband His Excellency Dr. Ihor Ostash, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Canada, was born in Stry, Ukraine and therefore feels a special connection to this Alberta community. A return trip is planned in the near future to document the remaining Ukrainian cemeteries in the community.
Over the next several months, fieldwork will expand to other rural community cemeteries in east central Alberta to help preserve an important component of Alberta’s heritage. Field- workers will travel to rural church properties in east central Alberta to record and photo- graph cemetery tombstones and markers. The information and photographs collected through the project will be available on the internet to those persons seeking information about their family history and relatives.
As part of the “Documenting Church Properties in Rural Communities in Alberta,” fieldwork- ers are especially interested to speak to parish representatives who are custodian for the parish’s register and cemetery books. The Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project is working with its partner, the Provincial Archives of Alberta, to ensure that parishes are aware that the Provincial Archives of Alberta is a safe alternative for the safekeeping of an aging com- munity’s parish records. The Documenting Church Properties in Rural Communities in Al- berta has been made possible through the financial assistance of: Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada (UCBC)– Edmonton Eparchy Ukrainian Self-Reliance Association (USRA)– Edmonton Branch
