Alternative spellings: Turenczak, Turynczak, Turinchak
The Turenchalk family likely originated in Jablonki, Poland. In 1898, Hryc Turenchalk (Harry) came to the United States for the first time aboard the ship, "Hercynia" which departed from Hamburg and docked at Ellis Island. I believe that Harry went back to Jablonki and then proceded to have his wife and young daughter follow him back to the United States. Kathrina "Kata" (wife) and Piza (daughter) ported at Ellis Island on November 17, 1907 on the ship "The Seydlitz" orginating from Bremen. Piza Turenchalk is my great-grandmother.
If you are a MALE descendant of Harry Turenchalk WITH the Turenchalk last name---a possible mutual cousin would be interested in doing an Ancestry DNA test to confirm the connection between Hryc Turenchalk and a man named Wasyl Turenchalk to see if they were brothers. Contact me and I will connect you with the possible cousin. The testing is safe and results are as private as you want them to be. Thanks!
