The creation and administration of this web page will be for the exclusive purpose of historical education and genealogical research related to those individuals who were from the former Carpathian territories and were of Carpatho-Rusyn heritage.

Since the inception of our site in 1998 we have continued to expand into a valuable tool for Carpatho-Rusyn research. We could not have accomplished this without the support of our dedicated readers. At this time we would like to thank everyone who shared their essays, photographs, and historical documentation. Please assist TCC to keep the memory of “Our People” alive by contributing to our site.  

As always TCC will remain a free and independent web-site for anyone interested in researching their Carpatho-Rusyn ancestry.

Note: Our Gallery Page is Now Available for Mobile Devices!

Original Fine Art by Grace Keown

Grace Keown is the granddaughter of Michael & Anna Sokol Osifchin, Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants from Udol, Slovakia. Grace has created art in some form or media for most of her life. Her personal journey and exploration of various techniques have taken her into relationships with watercolor, pastel, scratchboard, acrylic, oil, pen and ink, printmaking, photography, jewelry-making, stenciling and primitive rug-hooking.

“Our beautiful Carpathian-girded homeland,” wrote Irene Spotkovszky in her 1914 book about Tokay wine.  Now, an American author presents the 1,000-year story of Tokay’s rise as the most famous Carpathian product.  A-Z entries include the Rusyns and Slovaks, the Rakoczis and Magochys, plus the towns and counties of eastern Slovakia.
