Lemko Village Resource Guide

The following info contained on the links below was compiled by Greg Gressa from the following resources:

"Our People - Carpatho-Rusyns and Their Descendants in North America" - P.R. Magocsi

"Church in Ruins" - Oleh Iwanusiw

"Historical Shematism of the Eparchy of Peremyshl" - Dmytro Blazejowskyj

"1936 Shematism for the Lemko Apostolic Administration" - Ukrainian Museum and Library, Stamford Ct.

"Surnames of Galician Lemkos in the 18th Century" - Ivan Krasovs'kyj

"Genealogical Gazeteer of Galicia" - Brian Lenius

[*NOTE - the surname materials compiled by Mr. Krasovs'kyj lack the inclusion of some Lemko surnames for some villages. Surnames could be missing if a person/family did not have land, but rather worked the land of another person. Data for some villages is missing entirely due to some cadastral records not being available or not located. We will be supplementing the Krasovs'kyj surname data on an ongoing basis with data from church Metrical records and other resources as we obtain more records and data. Data added by us will so be identified along with the source.]

[**NOTE - Villages listed in Red are villages included in the Krasovs'kyj data but these are/were not Lemko villages as identified by commonly accepted maps of the region. Data from these villages will be added AFTER other village data is completed. Villages listed in Green are Lemko villages omitted by Mr. Krasovs'kyj and we will provide material from other sources.]

[***NOTE - The parish data in Blazejowskyj's material lists the people as "Ukrainian Catholic" during periods that the churches were Greek Catholic. We therefore use the term Greek Catholic to identify the population in this compilation]
