  5. Ukrainian Pioneers' Association of Alberta, Ukrainians In Alberta (Edmonton: Ukrainian News Publishers Ltd., 1975), Given that Fedor Kostaszczuk is "the youngest of six sons" of Hryhory Kostaszczuk and Anastasia Molofiy, born in 1871, it seems reasonable to place Hryhory's marriage some 10 years earlier, assuming two years between births.
