Schools Ukraine

It is likely that when they were younger, Andrzej Kaszucki (my 3rd great grandfather) and his two brothers attended school in Uhniv (now in Ukraine) before they moved to Tomaszow Lubelskie as young adults. ***** School in Uhniv is documented back as far as 1470. Sigismond from Radzanov, the proprietor of the city, started a Roman Catholic school. It had three grades for boys only. It appears that children entered school at age 6 or 7. Religion was taught by the priests of the Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic rites. The Kaszucki family was Greek Catholic and Fedora and Theodore Kaszucki may have attended somewhere between 1797 and 1803. ***** At about the point that Andrzej Kaszucki (my 3rd great grandfather) would have been entering school, it had been Polish in nature until 1804 when the Ukrainians of Uhniv wanted it to become Ukrainian. At that point, the administration was shared by the city and Roman Catholic administration. The transition wasn’t completed until the 1850s when it became a Greek Catholic school since Greek Catholics at that point were the majority in the city. The Roman Catholic pastor was able to establish a girl’s school at this point. ***** http://www.remer.org/genealogy/memorial_book/historical_summary_hivniv.html
