Carpatho-Rusyn DNA Project (FamilyTreeDNA)
The Carpatho-Rusyn Heritage DNA Project welcomes all males and females of Carpatho-Rusyn(C-R) heritage, a distinct group of people that live or once lived in portions of the Carpathian Mountain range. Their region is comprised of what is now South-Eastern Poland, Transcarpathia, Northwestern Slovakia, and a small pocket in Vojvoidina. Their region, called Galicia, was ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1772 until 1918. Starting in 1880 many C-R people immigrated to the United States and Canada. Those in SE Poland {Lemkos} suffered various misfortunes. Some were sent to the Talerhof concentration camp during 1914-1917, and post WW-II most Lemkos in SE Poland were involuntarily relocated to Western Ukraine between 1944-1947 - the remaining Lemko population was forcibly removed between 1947-1948 and relocated to Western Poland during the Vistula Action. Carpatho-Rusyns are sometimes known as Carpatho-Russian, Carpatho-Ukrainian, Rusnak, Ruthene, Ruthenian, Uhro-Rusyn--all relate to their traditional association with the East Slavic world of the Rus'. In Poland they refer to themselves as Lemko/ Lemko Rusyn.
