The following is an abstracted article regarding many families who now live in our Ohio Valley - including Brooke and Hancock Counties, WV. ---------- Decades after first gathering in area, Lemko Rusyn reunions annual events abstracted from: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleyindependent/news/s_246803.html By Emma Jene Lelik For The Valley Independent Wednesday, September 1, 2004 In September 1941, The Daily Independent printed an account of the first kermesh (reunion) held by Lemko Rusyns who had emigrated to the Mid-Mon Valley from the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe. Attended by some 500 persons, it was held at the Russian Club in Pricedale. This was the first formal gathering since the immigrants began coming to the area 65 years earlier and they intended to stage the reunions annually. Ironically, with the outbreak of World War II and the untimely death of one of the organizers, John P. Yewusiak of Charleroi, that was the first and last gathering. That is until 57 years later, in August 1998, when descendants of the 1941 kermesh held the second one at Campground 70, near Bentleyville. The reunions are now annual and Joe Perun, one of the promoters, said there were about 100 present for the kermesh conducted during the past weekend at the campgrounds. In 1941, there were 55 families from the town of Losha, Galicia, which was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire before World War I, living in Pricedale. These Lemko Rusyns, whose homeland is present-day South Eastern Poland, are part of a larger group of Rusyns who inhabit the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Slovakia and Western Ukraine. The Rusyns are an ethnic minority who do not have their own country. They have been called Russians, Ruthenians, Rusnaks, Ukrainians and Rusyns. Some have taken the nationality of the country of their origin. Their faith is either Orthodox or Byzantine Catholic. Mary Visniski and Morris Maksemetz had original pictures of the 1941 kermesh, taken by the former Rehula Studio of Charleroi, and Perun had additional copies made. Family members were able to identify many relatives. In 1998 Walter Trembach, who was in the original picture, showed it to his cousin, Audrey Deitz of McKees Rocks, and she started doing genealogy on her grandparents, the Yewusiak and Trembach families. Soon others were tracing roots and what started with a handful of names has grown to over 7,000. Some of the surnames represented are: Barna, Basilwich, Chowansky, Digon, Dolinsky, Dudra, Dudick, Dutka, Fekula, Furtak, Gal, Geeza/Gezzer, Gornik, Homa/Choma, Hubiak, Karel, Karpiak, Kostecki, Krill, Krutilla, Jurila, Malecki, Mitus, Monita, Moskwa, Nowak, Olesniewich, Paluch, Pawlak, Popovich, Rogots, Shlanta, Spulnik, Swist, Telech, Trembach, Wachnowsky, Wozniak, Yewusiak/Youshock, Yuschak, Zak, Zawislak and Zuraw. Questions and information can be directed to Dietz, who can by contacted via e-mail ([email protected]) or telephone (412-331-2077.) ---------- There is an on-line Yahoo Lemko Descendants group formed in 2001 at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lemko-Descendants/

His father was Abel Cain. I don't know who his mother was. Samuel and his parents were living in Toronto, Jefferson Co., OH in 1803 when Ohio became a state. I don't know how Abel & Walter were connected but I believe they were maybe brothers. There was also an Aaron Cain & James. Supposedly Walter operated a ferry across the Ohio River just north of Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH. Samuel's mother died while he was still young. Abel left him with John Edwards. A relative of mine says that there are court records of John Edwards sueing Abel for child support. Perhaps John Edwards was Abel's father-in-law. Abel remarried, lived in Coshocton Co., OH and raised a family before moving to Indiana where he died. His second was supposedly Hannah Cable but I haven't found record of this. My line is Abel Cain, his son Samuel Cain, his son Robert Reed Cain, his son Rodrigo DeWitt Cain, his son Charles Willoughby Cain Sr. and Charles Wil! loughby Cain Jr. (my father).

Thanks to all who responded. I was given a lead to a book on www.digitalshoebox.org. I was able to find a listing for them in 'Brooke County, West Virginia Cemeteries.' They are buried in Brooke cemetery. Diana

Click here: Digital Shoebox Collections | Document Viewer Diana, If you go to the website: digitalshoebox.org you will find the book online with cemetery transcriptions for Brooke Co. West Virginia. The entire book is online including the index. I have found several of my family in there and have since received all the cemetery record information as well as tombstone photo's. The transcriptions for Brooke County are on pages 218-336. Good luck, Laura sunny California

Hello Diana, Brooke Cemetery is the only cemetery in town. There is one publication, a survey of Brooke Cemetery which was done by Richard Roe who donated his work to the Jefferson County Chapter, OGS. A copy of his cemetery series is located at the Schiappa Libary (http://www.steubenville.lib.oh.us/) in Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH which includes Brooke Cemetery. But they do look-ups with a fee. You'll find Sandy Day's link for email contact on this web page - http://www.steubenville.lib.oh.us/history/default.htm. And if I remember correctly, I thought the Brooke County Genealogy, Inc. at http://www.brookecountywvgenealogy.org/ - had a similar publication, but I do not see it on their "publications" web page. Perhaps someone with connections to this group can contribute help. When you find the information on these individuals - consider submitted the info on this page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvbrooke/brcem.htm Wishing everyone a new found ancestor, Julia >Subject: Wellsburg Cemetery > >I am trying to track down my husband's g-grandparents.

I am trying to track down my husband's g-grandparents. They died in Ohio but were brought back to Wellsburg for burial. The death certs just say the remains were taken to 'Wellsburg, WV', but do not list a cemetery. I know that there is a 'Brooke Cemetery' in Wellsburg. How can I contact them to determine if they are buried there? Is this the only cemetery in Wellsburg or are there others? Thanks for your help. Diana
