In Ukrainian
- [1251] - Хочу звернути Вашу увагу на те, що хоч веду цю сторінку американськом
одміном літературной англійськой мови, можу зрозуміти без труду писани польську,
українську або російську мови. Тому, як бажаєте, можете листувати ся по-польськи,
по-українськи або по росийськи. Прошу тільки писати листи на машині (чи на
компютері), або писати їх ручно виразним друком, щоб я міг легко зрозуміти.
На все добре!
http://www.lemko.org internet site was created primarily
for those whose roots come from that part of Galicia known as Lemkovyna,
or Lemkivshchyna in Ukrainian, mostly descendants of the turn of the century
"Ruthenian/Rusyn/Ukrainian" immigrants, particularly English speaking North
Americans, who wish to learn more about their heritage. As a result
of the first partition of Poland in 1772, Galicia was occupied by Austria,
eventually it wound up in the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the empire's
disintegration in 1918. Prior to it, and from 1918 until 1939, Galicia was
administered by Poland. Currently, the territory of Lemkovyna finds itself in south-eastern post WW II Poland.
- Lemko site is an
organizational disaster but has lots of good information. If you are looking
for something specific, my suggestion is to search the site using Google while
limiting your search to that domain name. You can try it here; just enter
your text before the word "site".
Notice:
I'm also looking for those old Lemko/Rusyn/Rusnak/Ukrainian 78s (records), please drop me a note.
