FYI

I have divided the Kraynaks into 3 separate family pages.

Most of us fall into the Kraynaks from Urey. But there were 2 families in Indiana County.

Two brothers followed the coal from Lethbridge, Canada to Urey.

Both worked the Urey mines, but then John's family went over to the Sidney area.

The information on this side was provided by Paul Popik.

And there was another brother (?) who went to the Cleveland area.

Not much is known about this side of the family...
