Masiowski Cousins Reunion 2024 – Recap, pictures, and more!

1988 John and Nastia family reunion.

On Friday, July 19th, there was a cousins reunion for descendants of John and Nastia Masiowski held at St. Charles Catholic Parish in Winnipeg. There were over 60 family members and friends who came from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec to the event.

Opening remarks were given by Brad Masiowski (son of Frank Masiowski) and closing remarks by Marilyn Moore (daughter of Pauline Johnston). There was a family meet and greet, conversation, stories, and music shared.

I gave a short presentation on the early family history that covered John and Nastia’s immigration from their village in Ukraine, early family life on the homesteads, and other interesting tidbits. I created a pdf document to go along with this presentation that can be downloaded.

Jan and Anastasia Masiowski – Family History PDF

This booklet is focused on John and Nastia with some information on their ancestors and their children. More information is required! Please send your information, pictures, stories, etc.

Below is a collection of images from the event. There are 3 galleries to view, one with general images, one of the tables and families, and lastly the generation pictures with the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of John and Nastia.

Ukrainian songs and stories (Robert Klymasz fieldwork collection)

Continuing the post from late last week, here are some additional songs and stories from the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives.

There were 68 recordings made from Fork River that included 32 recordings from Mrs. John Masiowski, 21 recordings from Dokiia Rozmarynovych, 3 recordings from Mrs. Jacob Harrison, and 4 recordings from Walter Pasternak. Since his recordings were mislabeled I’m unable to link to them as a collection, only one-by-one below.

Additionally, Robert Klymasz recorded stories and songs from Plumas, Rorketon, and Winnipegosis as well as in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

You can listen to the entire collection on their website.

I’ve organized all of the Fork River items alphabetically in the Cyrillic alphabet and linked each one separately.

I found a few of the songs in Robert Klymasz’ publications which I pulled from the University of Manitoba’s Slavic Collection at the Elizabeth Dafoe Library. I’ve marked them in the chart for easy identification and included the musical notation and lyrics from the books in both English and Ukrainian.

Dokiia Rozmarynovych Songs

Rozmarinovich [Rozmarynovyč], Dokija (Mrs. Pavlo, nee Bassarabova) 73, retired. Born in in the village of Ukivtsi, Borshchiv district, Ternopil’ region, Ukraine. Arrived in Canada in 1920. Recorded in Fork River, Manitoba, 10 August 1964.

Of those who actually participated in Canada’s first influx of Ukrainian peasant settlers at the turn of the century, few are alive today. Having witnessed and survived the early years of toil and hardship, they invariably sense a strong feeling of accomplishment and are eager to relate their experiences to members of the younger, Canadian-born generation which, in their opinion, does not know or fails to appreciate “what we went through.” Many of the Ukrainian old-timers are able to recall the old songs which depicted the immigrant’s experience in his new Canadian environment. These frequently include a popular motif portraying Canada as a deceitful seductress who has lured the hapless peasant away from his beloved ones in the Old Country.

Xodzhu po Kanadi taj myli raxuju,
De j nje nich napadyt tam perenochuju.

Kanado, Kanado, jaka ty zradlyva,
Ne jednoho cholovika z zhinkou rozluchyla,

Ne jednoho cholovika taj ne jedni dity,
Oj hore zh tam hore v Kanadi sysity.		As I walk through Canada I count the miles
And bed down for the night wherever night falls.

O Canada, Canada, how deceitful you are!
Many a man have you separated from his wife,

Many a man and many children –
O how miserable it is to be in this Canada!
Folk Narrative Among Ukrainian-Canadians in Western Canada. Robert B. Klymasz. 1973. p. 10.
Летіла зозулька,

Ой Боже ж мiй, Боже.

Ходжу я по лiсi,
По лiсi блукаю,

Дороги шукаю.

Шукаю дороги,

And perched on a branch.
You, my sister,
have invited me for a visit.

How gladly, o sister,
I would come for a visit,
But the way is long,
I can’t make it.

The way is long,
And the sea is wide.
When I think about it –
O my God, o my God!

I’m walking through the forest
I’m roaming through the forest.
I’m looking for the way
To my sister’s.

I’m looking for the way,
A dry roadway.
Maybe I could make my way
To my family.

Sister, o sister,
You’re seated on the trousseau.
You’re seated on the trousseau.
You look sad,
And that is, o sister,
Because you have no mother.

Songs from the New World

Ой то би сє дiвчинонька
В сих м’ясниць вiддала,
Якби вона чайнамена
Снгарiв не крала.

Єдна крала сигарети,
А друга бинени,
Трета з боку заглєдала,
Чи йдут чайнамени.

Гелен, Стелла i Тереса
Моди сє тримали
Та й по двадцiть п’ять поверхiв
Дреси вишивали.

Як сє вбере тую дресу,
Намалює пику,
Вона сибе прикладає
За паню велику.

Покинь, дiвче, малювати,
Бо висмiют люди,
Бо з тих павдрiв i з липстикiв,
Газдинi не буде		Oh, the girl would have got married
During this meat season,
If she hadn’t been stealing
Cigars from the Chinaman.

One of them stole cigarettes
And another bananas,
And a third one was on the lookout from the side
Whether Chinaman were coming.

Helen, Stella and Theresa
Kept up with fashion,
And each had sewn dresses
Twenty-five stories high.

When she wears this dress
And “colours” her snout,
She plays the role
Of a great lady.

Stop, girl, putting on make-up
Because people will laugh at you,
Because those powders and lipsticks
Will never make a good housewife.
Songs from the New World. Song 54. Ukrainian Folksongs from the Prairies. 1992. p. 137.

All activities are temporarily suspended about none o’clock at which time all guests line up to present the bridal couple with their cash gifts and to extend their personal wishes. Parents, relatives and close friends are expected to come forth first, followed by the rest of the guests, the attendants, and finally, the groom. On isolated occasions, the wishes themselves are extended in the form of a song, or “cvivat”, the content of which may be traditional or as extemporaneous in nature as the following example:

Recall, O my comrade,
What great pals we were,
How the both of us used to go
To the same house.

To the same house
And to the same girl,
And we’d never get home
Until daybreak.

When we got home
The neighbors would know everything;
They would point at us with their fingers and say.
“They’ll never get anywhere!”

And now you are getting married
While I’m just thinking about doing so.
I only feel sad
That I no longer have a home now.

I no longer have a house
Nor my own home;
All I do now is wander about aimlessly
Through distant, different places.

I think, O comrade,
I should now come to an end
So, musicians, strike up a vivat!
And with this cider I drink a toast unto you!

Ukrainian Folklore in Canada: An Immigrant Complex in Transition. Robert B. Klymasz. 1970. p. 85.

Interestingly enough, as I was reviewing some photographs I realized I had taken a snapshot of Walter’s grave during a visit to Fork River in 2015. He is buried in the Ukrainian cemetery. It’s too bad his little image plaque is missing.

Walter Pasternak. Born 1913. Died May 31, 1984.

Anastasia Masiowski’s songs and stories (Robert Klymasz fieldwork collection)

Robert Bohdan Klymasz (1936 – ) was born in Toronto in 1936 and is a Ukrainian-Canadian folklorist. He was the executive director of the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, an Adjunct Professor at the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, and a curator at the Museum of Civilization.

I highly recommend reading the following article, A Visit to the Ukrainian Museum and Library, by Thomas Prymak about his visit to the Oseredok in Winnipeg. His article talks about the treasured texts found there as well as his visits and chats with Ukrainian-Canadian scholars including Robert Klymasz.

The reason I’m sharing this information is because one of my cousins stumbled on to the Bohdan Medwidsky Ukrainian Folklore Archives where our great-grandmother Anastasia Masiowski nee Kotlarchuk (1891-1976) has 32 songs and stories recorded when Robert Klymasz visited Fork River on July 20th, 1964. The archive indicates there are 36 songs and stories but 4 of them have been mislabeled as they are sung by Walter Pasternak.

There were 68 recordings made from Fork River that also included 21 recordings from Dokiia Rozmarynovych and 3 recordings from Mrs. Jacob Harrison. Additionally, Robert Klymasz recorded stories and songs from Plumas, Rorketon, and Winnipegosis as well as in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

You can listen to the entire collection on their website.

I’ve organized the 32 items alphabetically in the Cyrillic alphabet and linked each one separately.

I was curious as to whether any of the recordings were used in Robert Klymasz’ publications and I found 2 songs from my great-grandmother in his books which I pulled from the University of Manitoba’s Slavic Collection at the Elizabeth Dafoe Library. I’ve marked them in the chart for easy identification and included the musical notation and lyrics from the books in both English and Ukrainian.

It’s so interesting to hear my ancestor’s voice from beyond the grave!

There are additional records from the Robert Klymasz collection at the University of Manitoba’s archives that I’d like to pull in the future. I hope there are more translations of her songs and stories that just didn’t make it into a publication.

Old Country Songs

Nastja Masiowsky – Fork River, Manitoba – 20 July 1964

Old Country Songs. Song 12. Ukrainian Folksongs from the Prairies. 1992. p. 29.
Ой попiд гай зеленький
Ходить Довбуш молоденький.

На нiжечку налягає,
На топiр ся пiдпирає.

«Бiгом, хлопцi, бiгом, бiгом,
Западає стежка снiгом.

Та коби ми бай до Дэвiнки,
До Штефановоï жiнки.»

«На день добрий Штефанова,
Ой чи є твiй Штефан дома?»

«Ой нема Штефана вдома,
Ще вечеря не готова.»

«Ой чи вийдеш вiдтворяти,
Чи скажеш ся добувати?»

«Ой не вийду я втворяти,
Не скажу ся добувати.

В мене дсверi тисовiï,
В мене замки стальовiï.»

«Як пiдложу праве плече,
Не поможуть эамки твоï,
Не поможуть дверi твоï.»

Як пiдложив праве плече,
Його куля в саме серце.

«Ой ви хлопцi бай молодцi,
Вiэьмiть мене на топорцi.

Эамесiть м’я в Буковину,
Де-м ся вродив, най там эгину.

Було ходити та и буяти,
Суцi правди не скаэати.»		By the small green grove
Goes the young Dovbuš.

He limps on [one] foot
He rests on his ace as on a cane.

“Quickly, men, quickly, quickly,
Soon snow will fall and cover our path.

“Let’s make our way to Dzvinka,
To the wife of Štefan.

“Greetings, o wife of Štefan,
Is Štefan, your husband, home?”

“Štefan is not home yet,
The supper is not ready.”

“Will you open up willingly,
Or am I to force my way in?”

“I shall not open up,
Nor will I let you force yourself in.

“I have doors made of yew,
I have locks made of steel.”

“When I brace my shoulder against the door,
Your locks will not help,
Your doors will not help.”

When he braced his shoulder to the door,
A bullet hit him straight in the heart.

“O my men, you young stalwarts,
Take me up on on your axe [handles],

And take me to Bukovyna,
Let me die where I was born.

I should have gone roaming
Instead of telling that bitch the truth.”
Old Country Songs. Song 12. Ukrainian Folksongs from the Prairies. 1992. p. 29.
III. 3. The Ukrainian Winter Folksong Cycle in Canada. 1970. p. 139.

NOTE: Singers often grope for the pitch and metre at the beginning of songs. If this song had had more verses, the singer would probably have established a triple metre throughout. The bar 4/8 time would then be sung in 38. [Kenneth Peacock.]

Там на горбочку там вогонь горе
Там дiвчина пироги варит.
А з стрiхи тиче на ïï пличе,
А з носа каптит, пироги мастит!		There on a hillhock burns a fire,
And a maiden’s there cooking dumplings.
The thatched roof is leaking onto her shoulder
And from her nose it’s dripping and buttering the dumplings.
III. 3. The Ukrainian Winter Folksong Cycle in Canada. 1970. p. 139.

This is a typical ditty sung by the mummers to underscore Malanka’s abilities as a housekeeper and cook.

Mowat Pioneers Update

Well, it’s been another couple of months since my previous post in May. I was successful in finding my grand uncle’s grave within ‘St. Michael’s Cemetery’ at SW-14-29-18-W1.

st michael's cemetery

Unfortunately, the cemetery was overgrown and I don’t know how many other graves were suppose to be in there. Where I thought the graves would be located was just grass, unless the headstones have been buried, while the rest of the graves were found in the trees/brush.

Anton Masiowski's headstone

There were a handful of other headstones that I was able to take pictures of but I was unable to get all sides.

A surprising find was the grave of Peter Demczyszyn (1909-1930) who was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. You can read more in the previous blog post here.

Another interesting find was this mysterious grave at the crossroads of Road 170 North and Road 105 West.

This is what I have been able to decipher from the headstone.

From what I can understand it is related to the Chornoboy family, specifically, Anna Chornoboy (1904-). If this is correct then Anna was only 17 years old when she died. Historically, burial at a crossroads was the method for persons who have committed suicide. Was this the case for poor Anna? I am going to do some more investigation in this case.
