Introducing the World's First G25 Noise Reduction Engine.

Most DNA uploads contain genetic “noise” that blurs your true origins. Our proprietary denoising algorithm filters out statistical outliers to generate a sharper, cleaner set of coordinates. See your heritage in high definition for just $15.00.

Research & Discovery

Rusyn Genealogy Resources

Church record archives, immigration manifests, fraternal organizations, and research tools for tracing Carpatho-Rusyn, Lemko, Hutsul, and Boyko ancestry.

Rusyn genealogy is uniquely challenging — your ancestors may have been recorded as Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, or Austro-Hungarian on official documents. Village names differ between Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian, and Hungarian sources. Always search under multiple spellings and start with church records and immigration manifests; they almost always contain the village of origin.

Step One

Church Record Archives

Greek Catholic and Byzantine Catholic parish records are the most valuable genealogical resource for Rusyn families — both in America and in the Carpathian homeland.

Step Two

Immigration Manifests

Ship manifests from 1890–1924 are goldmines for Rusyn researchers. They often list the specific village of origin, a contact person still in the homeland, and more.

Step Three

Fraternal Organizations

Fraternal lodges were the social backbone of the Rusyn-American community. Their membership ledgers, death benefit records, and publications are invaluable genealogical sources.

The Rusyn calculator finally gave me answers about my grandmother's village origins. The G25 coordinates perfectly matched historical migration patterns.
