Hello all. I saw someone asking if he can say he is Ukrainian and I’ve always kind of had the same question as well although my situation is a little different
On my mom’s mother’s side they definitely came from Ternopil Ukraine in the early 1900s. I met my grandmother who was born here but was fluent in Ukrainian and she even taught me a phrase but that’s the only Ukrainian exposure I ever got my entire life
On my dads side I found out years later his mothers parents came from Zakarpattia. I’ve been reading that that area is a little different and perhaps when they came to the United states they didn’t speak Ukrainian or identify as such. I know his last name and the village he came from if anyone could offer any clues.
Is it acceptable to say I’m Ukrainian? Just curious
Thanks
Hello. I’m trying to get some opinions on my dna results and was wondering if it’s Rusyn dna
On paternal side, my great grandparents were from Velyki Luchki in zakarpattia Ukraine
On maternal side I have great grandparents from Ternopil Oblast Ukraine - I met my grandma who said “we’re Ukrainian “
My dna results kinda seem off. There’s a little polish and tons of Slovakian but hardly “Ukrainian” dna
Any thoughts appreciated
