Searching for Prokip Slobodyanyuk / Slobodnyuk

Khmelnik : This is where I search now. Many names like Slobodyanyuk and Slobodniak appear on Classmates.
While my father may have been born there he may have been in transit.
I can not find any information about Demyd
My grandfather Prokif was a blacksmith. This seems to be in keeping with the region.

Хмельник - я как раз там ищу. На "ОК" есть много Слободянюков и Слободняков.
Поскольку мой отец мог там родиться, он мог быть проездом (???)
Я не могу найти информацию о Демиде
Мой отец Прокиф был кузнецом. Это вроде соответствует региону

For me it's rather a strange method to search.

Ну видно человеку не нужны наши советы и подсказки.
Он и сам всё знает.
Ну что же, пожелаем удачного поиска!

It is not that I doi not listen. It is that I do not understand .I follow vert tenuous links. I have been researching for some time. I do not have access to knowledge you have. I do not sometimes understand what you say. I am sorry if I offend you.I am not sure of my fathers origins and I am not even sure how to spell my name. I am very thankful for the help you have given

That's the point! There lots of pecularities here in Russia and Ukraine. And the best thing (from my point of view) is you describe the problem - and we give advices. OR you can search as you want, but then our ideas don't have sense, because we maybe would do it in a totally different way. Do you get my point? When you ask "How can I find the church books of Slobidka?" We would ask you "What Slobidka? Why Slobidka?" You should post here the things one can rely on - for ex., death certificate or letters with some addresses, and then somebody here (or we all) could consider where to search.

Is there a joke in English when somebody is searching something in the street under the landern. One asks him: what are you doing? He says: I've lost my keys. - Here? - No. - Then why are you searching here? - There is more light here. -- I can't give you an advice how to search under the lantern. I have to know, where exactly you lost your keys, only then I can think if I can help you or not.

Who put out the lantern
