Genealogy / Mikolaj Rak from Carpatho-Rusyn, Lemko Villages in Jaslo County [11]

That might be my only choice now. I wrote to the church in Lubno back in December, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. A professional would probably be the best option. I appreciate this.

Genealogy / Mikolaj Rak from Carpatho-Rusyn, Lemko Villages in Jaslo County [11]

Mine were from Rzeszow County, I believe. The village was Lubno, Dynow commune. A distant relative in Poland gave me info about her family, but I haven't been able to connect hers to mine. My second cousin explained my family's connection to Russia. I haven't, though, been able to connect my great-grandfather Wasyl "Basil"Kocielko to the other Kocielkos/Kociolkos who immigrated from Lubno. I know of possibly two sisters - Malanka and Tekla, as well as a nephew - Nestor.

I have some Lemko in me, too. The topic 'Kocielko surname' has most of my info about that side. I, too, am hoping to find relatives who can provide more insight. I was lucky to find a few already.

I see, thanks. So I order the film right at the FHC, then, not on their website?

Hi,

I looked on the Mormons' website. I found a microfilm listing for the Roman Catholic church in Leki. It goes from the 1700's to the 1930's. How would I go about ordering the microfilm? I have a FHC not too far from me. Any help would be appreciated.
