  Father	Vasyl (Basilius) Yatsyshyn (Jacyszyn),   b. 1790, Skala-Podilska, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, (Skala Stara Bldg 6) d. Skala-Podilska, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, (Skala Stara Bldg 6)
  Mother	Ahaphia,   b. Skala-Podilska, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, (Skala Stara Bldg 6)
  Notes	I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was VASYL YATSYSHYN (Basilius Jacyszyn). He was obviously born at the end of the 18th century. He married Ahaphia (her maiden surname is unknown). They lived in the building No 6-SS, and had at least 2 children – Mykola and Anna: I should mention that Skala used to be a small town. Except of Ukrainians (Greek Catholics), large communities of Poles (Roman Catholics) and Jews lived there. Poles and Jews had their own religious centres, namely Roman Catholic Church and the synagogue. Ukrainians had three Greek Catholic churches at the beginning of the 18th century. Then only two of them continued to function. They were in the parts of town called “Skala Stara” and “Skala Nova”. The Research is done on the base of Greek Catholic Registers from: Ternopil archives: Skala Stara – registrations of births 1847-1923, marriages 1871-1912, deaths 1871-1913. Skala Nova – registrations of births 1864-1913, and marriages 1846-1919. Borschiv Registry Office: Skala Stara – registrations of marriages 1913-1944. Skala Nova – registrations of births 1914-1944, marriages 1920-1944. They wrote the Registers in Latin until 1909; I will write names until that year according to Ukrainian transcription and original names in brackets. I will use letters SS – Skala Stara and SN – Skala Nova to identify residence of families. I should mention there were many factors that formed surnames origin. The main were: 1) father’s name (“Semeniv”, “Semchyshyn” – a son of Semen; “Hnativ”, “Hnatyshyn” – a son of Hnat; “Pavliv”, “Pavlyshyn” – a son of Pavlo; “Prokopiv”, “Prokopovych” – a son of Prokip etc.) 2) Occupation (if a man was engaged in tailoring, he had “Kravets” surname (tailor); in shoe-making, sewing – “Shvets’ ” (shoemaker); in weaving – “Tkach” (weaver); if he threshed flour in a mill – “Melnyk” (miller) etc.) 3) Outward appearance (“Kryvyy” (lame), “Slipyy” (blind), “Bilyy” (white), “Khudyy” (thin), etc.) 4) Place of birth or living (from Nivra village – “Nivryanskyy”, from Lviv – “Lvivskyy”). The surnames “Yatsyshyn” and “Stetsiuk” had been formed according to the first factor. So, the male name Yakiv, who could be fondly called Yatsko, was the origin of Yatsyshyn surname. Other surnames can be formed from this name: Yatsiuk, Yatseniuk, Yatskiv etc. The origin of Stetsiuk surname was the male name Stephan; Stetsko is a gentle form of that name. Other surnames such as Stetsko, Stetskyy, Stestkiv etc. are formed from the name.

• Notes

  Uncertain information: It is known from the research that Yatsyshyn family lived in the building No 6 in Skala Stara. I should mention that Anastasia Yatsyshyn died 24.03.1881 in that building. She was 43 years old (so she was born in 1838). There is no more information about her. She could be a daughter to Vasyl and Ahaphia, could she? Unfortunately, there are no Registers of the previous period to confirm/disprove it.
