Austro-Hungarian Empire and Rusyns

My family is Polish Lemko. The two maps below are a great reference and also show my great granparent's home town as Lemko.

See http://www.carpathorusynsociety.org/geography.html

Note the maps show Rusyn/Ruthenians in 1910 and with pre-WWI country boarders.

Finally Andy Warhol is probably the most famous Rusyn. For a list of famous Rusyn Americans see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rusyn_Americans

@thetick thank you so much for the great links. One of the Rusyn Americans is from the same county as we are, wish I could get a DNA test on one of their descendants LOL.

@prairelad sorry I could not find anything new for you. I will keep my eyes peeled for your village and surname.
