Kuczerawy/Slobodniuk

I know it is not the same. What I say is I look for similar. In Australia, many names Anglicised ( English change ) . Sounds take on different spellings. This verified when do search in google maps. Name you type in is always different from one that comes up. I say maybe my uncle, who not speak so well English, Anglicised names and then spelling is different. I look for similarity in regions. . Another example is my name is spelling in Australia Slobodniuk. I see other spellings. Slobodenyuk, Slobodenjuk, Slobodnyak etc. Who knows. I can only try. I now turn to my grandmother Kaczurawy has become Kacuray to Kucara. I find in Australian records Stephania, She has children Eugenia ( my brother Eugene) Maria ( My sister Maria) , Roman ( my brother Raymond and Helenia ( my sister Helen ) Too much coincidence. ??? But Stephania has no husband listed. I keep looking.

Do you know where she is from? My husband has a similar name in his pedigree.
Do you know it means "curly"?

In Ukrainian it means "curly hair"

For me it's rather a strange method to search.
Yes, I think, networks like Odnoklassniki etc. are very important, one should ask in surname groups and bother all the people with similar names with one's story (at least I do it this way), but for archiv search one should have sounder conclusions.
