Carpathian Village People Booklet

The Carpathian Village People is a 23-page booklet published in 1981. It is a listing of Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants to Minneapolis, Minnesota from the 1880's to 1947. This information was gathered and compiled by Mitro Jurchisin over a 25 year period! It includes hundreds of surnames with given names by village. For the women, it even includes their maiden names. It is a wonderful resource. Most of these immigrants came from villages in Slovakia near the border with Poland. The principal villages were Becherov, Dubova, Chmel'ova, Ondavka, Regetovka, and Stebnik, all in Saros county north of Bardejov.
