Welcome to the list, Mark. Perhaps I am near one of your relatives, if they
are near Sydney, in Australia.

I have a very rare surname (Okopny). My grandfather Maksym came from Narayiv
Ukraine (then Narajow Austria) around 1911. This village is located 60 km
southeast of L'viv. Between famine, war, forced labor, and deportation, the
events of the 20th century scattered my family to the wind. I am trying to
sort thru and pick up the pieces.
So far I am in email contact with an Okopny in Toronto, London, Poland,
Moscow, Krasnodar Russia. I have located records of others to Argentina,
Brazil, and forced resettlement to Australia.
