Yes..........this is true. My mother's parents were Ukrainian........also from Austria-Hungary( Austro-Hungarian Empire ).
I think they spoke both Polish and Ukrainian.
Think their name was Gejun, but those of northern European ancestry working at Ellis Island wrote it Dedon.That's what it has been ever since.My grandmother's maiden name was Poliwoda.They got that right for her brothers.An Emil Poliwoda went on to be Disney's top animator.......Fantasia and pictures like that.I will write more when I have more time.Fun to correspond anyway with others that like genealogy stuff.
