Sorry, it appears that the records of the GC parishes of Desznica (including Brzezowa) and Myscowa have not been microfilmed. Alas, either I suffer from the onset of Oldtimer's Disease or the batteries of my crystal ball need replacing. Re: Greek Catholics Immigrants Greek Catholics did not necessarily become Russian Orthodox upon arrival in America. Because of the lack of existing Greek Catholic churches here at that time, some attended services in the Roman rite while others attended the more familiar services of Russian Orthodox churches while still others rolled up their sleeves and built Greek Catholic churches. Today, there are nine Ukrainian Greek Catholic eparchies around the world: one each in Austria, Poland, Australia-New Zealand, and the UK, two in the USA, and three in Canada. And, by the way, today you will find a Saint Mary Ukrainian Greek Catholic Parish in Madison, IL. Cheers and good luck!
