I am looking for any families from the area of former Yugoslavia that are of Rusyn descent. Many of these families settled in the Sharon/Farrell ares. At times these families may have called there language "Slavish", and would have been Greek Catholic. Slavish is this use is an old "slang" term form Ruthenian/Rusinski.(A language closely related to Ukrainian and Slovak.) At times they would have also been called "Yugoslav Russian". Some towns of origin would have been Ruski Kerestur, Kucura, Sid, Miklosevc, Sot, Bacinci, Kula. (Not all are listed here). I have some unsigned post cards from 1947 Farrell. These say things like "Dear Aunt, my father is still in the hospital, the doctors say he will heal, but I have been let go home, I will right again soon". No name, no return address. I am assuming the family most have been in some accident. Some of my family names are Hromis, Mudri, Lasko, Mitrov..etc These families would also have had ties to Barberton, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio and Detroit. Thanks Paul Powers
