Carpatho-Rusyn Society Refreshments will be served. For further information call (973) 256-1839 or send an E-mail to njpresident@c-rs.org. NJ Chapter members, Carol Morrison and Mary Ann Bascik, creators of the avillagecluster website will discuss how the individual historical research and writing of three Rusyn-Lemko descendants led to the creation of a website honoring their immigrant ancestors from five neighboring Carpathian villages.The website was pictured in a recent issue of The New Rusyn Times. Please note that this talk will not be about the technical aspects of creating a website, but rather the gathering and organization of an enormous amount of knowledge into a logical and searchable structure in order to share it with others. This multi-layered site (234 pages to date) is very much a work in progress. And although much time has gone into the writing of the narrative, the true highlights are the striking images of the homeland with its tiny Orthodox church – which has been partially supported for over a century by American Peregrymka village descendants.
