Genealogy / Where are the Lemkos now? Do they still exist in Poland? [32]

Well, to my knowledge they were in northern poland by that time (the early 60s). My dad's paternal family, who were the Lemko-Rusyns, had more than a few Russian speakers, while his mother's side was 100% polish. My dad himself spoke polish and identified with poland (albeit being orthodox), but he recalls family attempting to teach Lemko culture and later in America frequently visiting a rusyn cultural center where he noticed the Russian-orthodox and Ukrainian-catholic difference.

Also, a surname based on speech ability? Hehe
