Hello Mary Lutak. My ancestors are Rusyn as well. Many emmigrated from their land from 1880 -1914 to Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines or steel mills.

Try to find lds records of military service from their nearest duty station such as lisko, jaroslav, or stanslau. Most had to serve 3 years before they could leave the country.
