I am getting allot of flack on how my name spelling on here has changed and quite frankly dont want to hear it no mo... So you wanna hear it.. here it go.... There is a reason for this. Plus I will absolutely love sharing this with my friends. I am really excited about learning of MY historical facts! It’s like reading a crazy book about what you don’t know is coming next but it is YOUR past and you are learning about hundreds of years ago right NOW. JS… OK so I know all of you think I am soooo CRAZY and If you dont know by now, please take note that I really could care less if you do... (btw Einstein was certifiable, js..) I have very recently started looking into my ancestry and digging as far as I can into my roots. I have found so many interesting things that have made me continue looking deeper and deeper, which in turn, uproots something else, which in turn, takes me in another direction to something even more remarkable. I HIGHLY encourage anyone who has the time to do this for themselves. It is very rewarding. First off, the script my name has been changed to is Ukrainian Cyrillic Script (Alphabet for whomever doesn’t know that either). It was the first script (Alphabet) that was used for hundreds of years until the Latin influences made it easier to translate and decipher. I’m going to try my best to understand it and speak it! It reads as: Грета Елізабетч Анна Грант-Каленуік Деамуде-Тицзкожскі Translation: Greta Elizabeth Anna Grant-Kalenuik Deamude-Tyzckowski (full name not put on profile) Plus, the meaning behind it is just couldnt be better: German meaning of the girl´s name Greta: • pearl, variation of Margaret Scandinavian (Swedish) meaning of the girl´s name Greta: • a pearl English meaning of the girl´s name Elizabeth: • my God is bountiful, God of plenty Hebrew meaning of the girl´s name Elizabeth: • the oath, fullness of God Irish meaning of the girl´s name Ann: • priceless Hebrew meaning of the girl´s name Ann: • gracious Translation: A pearl, my God is bountiful… priceless... (THAT’S AWESOME!!!) Hahahahaha.. Thought it was kinda cool. Thank you Mom and Dad! BTW, screw you to all you jerk offs that made fun of it in school... wish you had it now huhh?? :P I have ALWAYS been proud of all my heritages but mainly, I am a Ukrainian Canadian. For those of you that do not know what this is, I was born in A BEAUTIFUL country named Canada (just way to cold), but my MAIN home country of origin and native language is the Ukraine. My Great Great Grandfather Nykola Mikel Tyzckowski was one of the first waves of Ukrainians that migrated to freedom and settled in Alberta Canada. Where he, and allot of my family still lay there today in peace. I know that my beloved family on my Mothers Kaleniuk side came to Canada as well about the same time. In the bracket of 1890-1902, My family’s risked their lives though weather conditions that alone were enough to hard handle for people that could barely afford to eat, or stay nourished, let alone cross a very long journey across a very unforgiving sea in what I’m sure was not a very stable boat with small children. Simply in hopes for of a lack of violence and fear on a race so suppressed that had been forced into concentration camps in WWI. My Grandmother told me very limited stories of this and I couldn’t imagine the horror she lived through. They were EXTREEMLY lucky to escape. I couldn’t begin to pretend like my life will EVER be that horrifying! The name changes through the travels and passing years had been altered for their protection (Some misinterpretation of translation). I remember as a little girl hearing my grandparents and other family members speak to each other in Ukrainian. I always wanted to learn. My family had been through so much turmoil for so many years and still did not want to teach me for fear I would be scrutinized since it wasnt common to speak it and feared of more hatred even for me almost a century later. This makes my heart hurt terribly to know that they risked their lives so their future decedents as my son and I could have a free life unlike the MURDERING that is continuing to be shown today simply because I want what I want to take my choice because it suits me and you don’t have an option in this. You don’t agree… Well simple. I will just kill you” The turmoil that has come about in these past few months is extremely horrifying. For this kind of attempted hijacking of another country to be brought this upon. Sadly coming to senseless murder after all the progression that has come for them thought the years. It’s been a journey to figure each piece of MY enthralling puzzle of history. I am not done by far! Hope you have enjoyed a little piece of what I have learned and experienced in my journey to find my roots.
