Musey: Cobblestone Research



Source Information

  • Short Title Musey: Cobblestone Research 
    Source ID S4 
    Text The research has been done on the base of Greek Catholic Registers of the village of Spasiv. The
    documents are in Lviv archives, namely: registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1785-1853,
    1876-1877, 1895-1910, 1919, 1926, 1931-1933, 1935, 1937-1938.
    I have managed to determine that Trokhym Musiy really lived in the village of Spasiv (his name
    in Latin is “Trochimus Musij”). He married Maria Yakubchak (Maria Jakubczak) and had at
    least one daughter – Eva (not Paraska, as it was mentioned in your information):
    - Musiy Eva (Musij Eva) was born January 14 (or 17), 1871. 10.11.1895 she married
    Semen Sydor; his parents were Ivan and Katheryna Prokopchuk (Simeon Sydor, parents
    Joannes et Catharina Prokopczuk). He was born 14.02.1871. They lived in the building
    No 51 in Spasiv, and had at least 2 sons:
    o Sydor Omelian (Sydor Aemilianus) 19.08.1896 DOB.
    o Sydor Vasyl (Sydor Basilius) 13.03.1898 DOB.
    There are no Registers 1854-1875; I did not find any birth entries of other children. I did not find
    any further information on the family in the Registers of the later period.
    According to you:
    1 – Trokhym Musiy was born in 1837, in Tartakiv. His parents were Theodor and Teklia.
    2 – Mykola Musiy was born in 1862, in Tartakiv. His parent was Trokhym. He married
    Yephrosynia and had children: Safat (it could be Josaphat) and Paraskeva, who were born in
    1890s, in Tartakiv.
    I should mention that there is no birth entry of Trokhym Musiy in Greek Catholic Registers of
    Tartakiv of 1830s.
    There is no information about Mykola’s family in Greek Catholic Registers of Tartakiv 1880-
    1900.
    In general, Musiy surname is not mentioned in the Greek Catholic Registers of Tartakiv. Your
    information may be incorrect.
    Musiy surname was spread in Spasiv and Perviatychi; nevertheless, there was no entry about
    Trokhym Musiy’s birth in the Registers 1820-1854. He could be born in another village. It is
    impossible to do a research on Musiy’s line without the village name or additional information.
