actually the white croatians is a theory and not well documented. There are three distinct modern ethnic groups that make up the Lemkos, Rusyns, however you want to say it. It is the most well documented source which makes me to believe it to be true. lem- means east.
The research was done by polish scientists in the 1960s. Ukrainians are one ethnic group of the lemko.
