So here I am again. Not sure what more I can help on. I can tell you for certain that the people that lived on the upslopes of the Carpathians, both north and south mingled with each other and even, in my family, married.

so my only suggestion for others is to look on both sides of the border for your ancestors.

With regard to:
BIESZCZADY Slownik Historyczno-Krajoznawcy, from which I had translated the Wetlina section, I have the whole book of all villages. If someone wants to take a stab at another village in BIESZCZADY , drop me a note and I will get you the pages.

Hello Zenon,
I'd be interested. the story was that the Lemkos who survived were relocated waaaaay north in Poland.
Wetlina is interesting, but I'm sure my ancestors were moved. I sent letters many years ago, but no one ever answered.
Please PM me. Thanks.
Regards,
Bill

I have visited family including DZUBA in NOVA SEDLICA. However, no contact so far in Poland.

Bill,

I have found in my sources phone numbers to 8 Dziubas living in the region which was before Krosno province, including among others towns like: Wetlina, Lesko, Sanok, Besko and a few more. If you were interested I could send you the contacts.

Hi Bill, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to read the information you posted above. thanks for sharing it - that book chapter is very interesting! I can see that you put a tremendous amount of research and work into the translations so we could all read it in English.
In fact, I think that many members here at PolishOrigins would find your entire website interesting: http://www.iabsi.com/gen/public/

PO Members: Bill's wonderful site is designed for English speakers researching immigrants from the regions of what is now Slovakia (Slovak Republic). His collection includes wonderful and extremely informative essays, documents and photographs.

The homepage states:
Geographic focus is on Eastern Slovakia (Slovak Republic) / formerly Czechoslovakia / formerly Upper Hungary. Primary research areas include the peoples and lands in the Carpathian mountains and immediate borderlands of Southern Poland (Galicia) and Western Ukraine (Carpatho-Rus). As Slovakia was a component of pre-1918 Hungary, much information about "old Hungary" is contained herein and will be useful for any pre-1918 Hungary research.

Thanks Bill - I hope that we will hear more from you soon.

People from this village were predominantly ethnic RUSYN, often called LEMKO. The village was depopulated and destroyed in the 1950s and remained deserted for 20 years. New settlers are predominantly ethnic Polish, therefore no cultural continuity is extant.

My Grandmother's father, PAL DZIUBA, born in WETLINA about 1853. Move to NOVA SEDLICA, SLOVAKIA and married ANNA BRASKO about 1870. Name changed to DZUBA.

DZUBAs moved to SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA between 1888 and 1918.

It was quite common for villagers who worked in the forests to socialize.
