    Can anyone tell me the names of Rusyn or Ukrainian newspapers that would have been accessible to immigrants? My aunt had told me years ago that my Grandfather would get a paper written in Cyrillic from the "old" country to read. They resided in Bentleyville, PA.

    Thank you

    Many of the ones on microfilm are listed at https://web.archive.org/web/20060907194722/http://ihrc.umn.edu/research/periodicals/carusin.html and can be found at the Immigration History Research Center Archives at the U. of Minnesota.

    Also, the Winter 2020 issue of the New Rusyn Times has a list I prepared of the major Carpatho-Rusyn fraternal organizations that includes the newspaper(s) published by each one.

    Lemkos in Cleveland founded a local organization in 1929 to preserve their traditions. Two years later, representatives of Lemko associations throughout the United States and Canada met in Cleveland to form the Lemko Association. Until its relocation to Yonkers, New York in 1939, the association was based and published its newspaper, Lemko, in Cleveland. During the 1950s, the local branch of the Lemko Association moved to the Lemko Club in Tremont and published magazines, newspapers, and books in the Lemko dialect, but efforts to attract young members were generally unsuccessful. In the mid-1980s, the Lemko Club was sold and planned to relocate in the suburbs. By the 1980s, most of the old Rusyn neighborhoods were abandoned and immigrants' descendants, as well as new immigrants, relocated to suburban areas, with the Rusyn culture kept alive largely through the churches, which had mostly also relocated.
