My father grew up in a major city in Canada, in a neighbourhood that was predominately "Ukrainian". The second largest ethnic group was Polish (outnumbered 3 to 1 (maybe 4 to 1). Dad was descended from the Polish nobility in Eastern Poland, who were of the Roman Catholic faith. He was born with the Ukrainianized Polish surname of Sorokowski. It was once the Polish nobility name of Srokowski. Dad's Dad use to be extremely agitated when people claimed he was of Ukrainian descent. Dad's Dad's people moved from Russian dominated Poland, because of the unfair treatment of Polish people. How ironic, that an Andrew Sorokowski would write about the Ukraine in National Geographic, and would be a high profile writer for the Ukrainian diasporia, there by overshadowing the fact the majority of Sorokowski(s) that immigrated to North America were of the Polish ethnic group (Roman Catholic).
