Chapter Meeting & Guest Presentation  

"Carpatho-Rusyn Genealogy: Researching Slavic Ancestors"

presented by

Polly Walker & Maryann Bacsik 

Carpatho-Rusyn Society members Polly Walker (Minnesota) and Maryann Bacsik (New Jersey) will present a dynamic workshop on Carpatho-Rusyn genealogy.  This how-to-do-it lecture will provide you with sources of information in the U.S., Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, and other areas of the historic Rusyn homeland.  In addition, you will learn how to find information on your family's ancestral roots and cultural religious associations.  This in-depth presentation will cover how to get started, resources, and include vivid photography of European locations, data sheets, along with organizations and people who can support your needs and research.  The presenters have many years of experience in East European and American immigrant genealogical research.  The session promises to be a very enjoyable and informative experience for anyone who attends.

 Time-permitting, after the presentation, a tour of the interior of the Cathedral, with its wonderful iconography, will be conducted.

Identify your roots – Find your long-lost relatives! 

 Thanks to the initiative of one of our Chapter members, our presentation will be offered in a new venue within the District of Columbia. We will meet at St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral (Social Hall), a community where a number of Rusyn families and DC Chapter C-RS members continue to worship.
