My non-Rusyn husband and I had the privilige of accompanying John Righetti on his Rusyn Heritage Tour to Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland 2 years ago.

    There are many, many Lemko Rusyns still in the Philadelphia region. And we, the third and fourth generation Kornays, Karpiaks, Hudoczeks, Holowatczes and Bodnars, are still re-discovering our roots.

      <![CDATA[Thank you so much for your article!<br>
    I have just recently started delving into my Rusyn roots, and I feel I now know more about my background after reading your one article than I knew after reading many articles in the past. My paternal grandparents died long before I was born and my father died when I was just 17, long before I had an appreciation for my genealogy.
