Ukrainian Royalty

Review-a-Day - The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke by Timothy Snyder, reviewed by Harper's Magazine - Powell's Books

I have several ancestors who were Grand Prince or the like in my family tree. One has to remember, that there accounted kingdoms and Principalities during the course of Ukrainian history. I am no talking about small tow and three county sized states, either. Some of the ruling families were in the period just after the fall of Rome, and others were several centuries down the pike; some of which are Viking in origin. Just as other European Royal Families have loss power, they have NOT lost their status nor is their blood any less royal that it was.

There is a no difference between a reigning royal family and a non reigning royal family except the "reigning" part - the royal remains the same as does the rights, courtesies and status as a member of the "Royal Families Club". Thus, anyone with such ancestry from the Ukraine HAS royal blood in them.

Hello,

There is a story in my family that my great,great ,great grandmother was part of the Ukrainian royal family. She was exiled from her family after marrying a commoner who was most likely a court musician. Their names were Theodore Stechynsky and Anastasia Korolina. I can't find any information on them and don''t know where to start. I know that the church that has some records in Peremyshl, Poland have been sealed by the bishop.

Hello Shaikhatif, thank-you for your reply. Your family history sounds very interesting. I have been researching the Kievan Rus and the Hetman as well since I read your reply to see if there are any links with my Ukrainian ancestors.

Hello Annalisem , I’m delighted to receive your reply,, could you tell me which Royal Household you are descended from ?

[Annalisem]

I don’t know which royal household yet. My uncle and I are doing research to try and figure this out as the family who knew more have passed away.

Okay , so wheather you are descendant of the Kievan Rus or Hetman, you will have to go through church records , government archives, historic records, Land Ownership records etc . There are about hundreds and even thousands of Rurikids around even today who don’t have their family tree but are identified as Rurikid by others because of family legends, historic legends. You could give me which period of time you are considering. I will be delighted and thrilled if we find an ancestral connection.

Going through this it seems you could be a Rurikid blood and that there is a possibility of us being related

I would be very interested to know if we were related. From the information that I do have, I would estimate that Anastasia Korolina lived late 1700’s or early 1800’s. I have 3 different spellings of her first name in our family tree Anastasia, Anastasia, Anasthesia. Anastasia Korolina married a Theodore Stechynsky and their daughter Olena married a Dmytro Ozubko. They had my great grandfather Ivan Ozubko and lived in Stubno, Peremyshl, Galicia, Austria in 1877.

Considering this Information and My Ancestral History, i am able to believe that we are related through Yaroslav the wise, Rurik. The information that you have so far points that you are a descendant of Dmytro Dedko making you a blood of the Ostrogski Family which makes you a descendant of Iziaslav Yaroslavich whereas i am descending from Vladimir. this I say on the Basis of the Information that you have given that show a connection to the family by way of Church and Geographic location and History.
