Furmaniuk – from the Polish meaning “coach driver”
So you have to ask yourself…who are these people, and exactly what are they doing here?
Well rather than solve the mysteries of life, we are just trying to figure out how the family crossed the Atlantic and came to settle in New England. And whatever other areas of the country they went to. Investigating and researching the family history, which will be placed here, as well as some other information that we come across. Sorry no secret family recipes but if you want to know how to boil cabbage I think there are plenty of web sites for that and Haggis.
For the most part it is about Family.
Who we are…where we come from…and where we are going…
Who are the people involved?

Well let’s just say that I am the one doing all these pages, and while I am not doing as much digging into the dusty records of the family ledgers, I have done my share. I’m the one responsible for keeping these pages up to date and making them amusing/interesting – so all complaints about the content should be directed to me.
…also…
Zygmund Furmaniuk is the one doing the dusty digging into the family ledgers and collects such scraps of information as may come his way. He’s trying to get the Furmaniuk line back before 1870 (when Piotr Furmaniuk and Apolonia Dabek had Wojiech Furmaniuk, the immigrant great-grandfather of everyone on this page). Finding records of Furmaniuks in the 1700s has whetted his appetite to knit them all together. While researching the Furmaniuk family he uncovered his wife’s line going back several hundred years.
…as well as…
Ronald Furmaniuk The Second Musketeer…and I don’t mean the Disney version. He is the traveler, statesman, and local representative who has supported us and helped review all of the information.
