Just have a better look, doesn't it look like letter "j/J"?
"Stachowskij" it can be an Ukrainian surname with Polish version "Stachowski" (or the other way around).
Most of Russian/Ukrainian/Bielarusian surnames finishing with "-wskij" were polonized with "-wski" ending.

I will get the invitation and look at it again. The date was like 1928 and it was my mom and dad and not my grandfather that was my mistake.----Richard Stachowski

Yes, you may be right (that's why I added "the other way around") . I didn't look at the surname origin just concentrated at the question.

If they (your relatives) were Polish and used to live in (what's is called now) Ukraine or in any other parts of Russia, their surname was changed into Ukrainian/Russian version which ends with "wskij".
