correct Ukrainian orthography?

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

An old Ukrainian folk musician, Pawlo H., has just made history in the 
USA, by being included in the Library of Congress's annual honors list 
of great sound recordings of the past.  (Excerpts from the LC's media 
announcement are attached below, with the Ukrainian violinist Number 
8 in the honors list.)  But the LC cannot seem to decide how to SPELL 
his surname. 

Can any of you historians, either of Ukrainian culture or of folk music, 
perhaps establish the CORRECT orthography for his surname?  I'll be 
glad to forward the correct spelling to the LC's press representative, 
in case they need to make some correction in their official honors 
list. -- Steven P Hill, University of Illinois.

before beginning his recording career with Columbia, for which he made 
this dance number. He learned violin in western Ukraine at the age of 6 
and enjoyed a busy career playing concerts, dances and vaudeville 
theaters. The song is an excellent example of the ethnic releases that 
record labels began to produce in the 1920's for sale to immigrant 
communities in the United States.
