Hello Sarah,
My name is Mirabai Iwanko, I'm 19 years old and I go to Maine college of art. My grandmother Katherine-zydk-Iwanko, married a man named joseph Iwanko in Brooklyn New York. He passed away when I was one or two> 1990ish, and my grandmother passed away when I was 13. She was born in the Ukraine and was captured by Nazi's when she was 15, she escaped in Austria, and there had my father< he was born in 1946 or 42. When he was about 11 the two came over on a ship to Brooklyn where she married a man named Joseph Iwanko.
I don't know if this is any help to you, but if it is please let me know as I myself am always trying to learn more about our family's history. My father is an only child, and all other relatives of his were killed in the war. With it just being the two of us, we have limited knowledge.
