Curiosity of how many Cupryk's there are on the web is the reason why our home page was started in January of 1999. Our goal is to get as many Cupryk's all around the world to sign on this website and learn how the years have spread the Cupryk's geographically all over the world. Have noticed that in the USA, there are possibly some Cupryk's that have change their name spelling to Cuprak, not for sure on this, but some are in Arizona.
To date, have located 6 Cupryk's in the USA, 5 Cupryk's in Canada, 3 Cupryk's in Germany, and 1 Cupryk in the United Kingdom. Will plan to contact all by email or regular post. Am running into difficulty tracing in Ukraine, respectfully due to the current hard economic times, lack of web access, and such. If you have any website leads, please let us know. Leave a message in the guestbook or email us. If you know of any other Cupryk's, please leave a message in the guestbook below or email us, would appreciate it.

My father, Volodymyr, was born the son of Stefan and Anna(Kopj) Cupryk on February 14 1921. Both Stefan and Anna were school teachers. Near the town of Sambir, my father spent most of his life, in the State of Galicia, close to the Carpatian Mountains in the southwest part of Ukraine. I vividly remember my father saying how much he loved his country, and how he used to play in the fields of golden wheat. The fields were so abundant that all one could see was the golden wheat contrasting against the bright blue skies, hence, that is why the National flag colors are of blue above gold. 
He married Gertrude Vollmer, born May 6 1921, in Groetzingen, near the Black Forest area in West Germany
in 1948. Gertrude is the daughter of Karl and Elizabeth(Klumpp) Vollmer. Karl was a master carpenter and Elizabeth was a hard working homemaker. Shortly after being married, Volodymyr and Gertrude moved to the United States in 1950, with their first born child, Daria, and settled in the town of St. Joseph, Missouri USA. Volodymyr and Gertrude have 4 children, Daria(DeShon), Dan, myself, and Tim.
Dad retired as a master machinist from TWA in 1985, Gertrude retired as a Registered Nurse from St. Joseph's Hospital shortly thereafter. They moved to Albuquerque
New Mexico
the following year to enjoy their retirement. Dad passed away in June of 1997 after a short illness at the age of 76. Mom is still very active in her retirement.
Daria is a school teacher married to Richard DeShon and now lives in Faucet Missouri USA. They have two children, Kathy DeShon and Matt DeShon.
