Interesting Facts
In 1916 there were two other Kostyniuk familes in the Crowsnest Pass, both Galician - relatives?
A Ukrainian newspaper named The Novyny, published in Edmonton, Alberta on the 27th of June, 1914, gave a list of the Rusyn Miners killed in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster. Our interpretation of the Cyrillic script lists the following names: Stefan Kostyniuk and Ivan Kostyniuk. Rusyn miners will include miners of Rusyn, Ruthenian or Ukrianian descent. There is only one Kostyniuk listed on the official list.
From various lists the forename could be Demetri or Stephen
