But the records after 1872 are not yet available on-line. I hired a Polish genealogist to go to the Lemko Archives in Sanok to research those more recent records. I am familiar with the Gula and Bybel immigrants of Scottdale, PA.

This branch of Gulas hails from Krajná Bystrá, Slovakia which is about 20 miles SE of Wołowiec. My grandfather Peter, emigrated in 1909 to Sharon, PA via NJ.<br /><br />My wife and I visited the village this fall. It is very beautiful and Gula families represent perhaps 1/3 of the village. These Gulas are Rusyn. Their church is Eastern Rite Catholic. You can see photos at: http://flickr.com/gp/jlgula/7969v7. It would be interesting to know about connections to the Gulas in Poland.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Jim Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845009747167680179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914770434977896982.post-89510630408046079682012-07-22T22:47:23.621-04:002012-07-22T22:47:23.621-04:00My great grandfather, George Gula had several cous...My great grandfather, George Gula had several cousins who lived in the same area, one named Stefan (Steve) and one named Nat.

My great grandfather was Harry Gula. 1940 Census lists him as 52 at the time. Birthplace Austria 1888. Cant find a match to the first name on Ellis Island site. He was married to Eva (maiden name Margura also lists birthplace as Austria). They had 6 children (Frank Anna Alex Robert Jean Dorothy). Figuring he may have changed his first name. They lived in Ohio. Going to search for his naturalization record next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914770434977896982.post-62826930713063679172012-07-02T11:56:56.730-04:002012-07-02T11:56:56.730-04:00Hi Kathy, Very interesting.

What I found is that they were ethnic Germans living in Bohemia which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (it was a huge Empire---probably part of Poland where you ancestors came from). <br /><br /> In 1918 the ethinc Germans were expelled and now the area is Western Czech Republic.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914770434977896982.post-46094295625780647542011-07-25T10:57:06.249-04:002011-07-25T10:57:06.249-04:00What a fascinating tale of twists and turns.

Since your great-grandfather was from the Polish part of "Greater Ruthenia," he would probably be identified as a "Lemko Rusyn" (Boyko Rusyns = Slovakia, Hutsul Rusyns = Ukraine). Most likely he attended an Eastern Catholic church here in the US, though some Rusyns ended up in Roman Catholic or even Orthodox churches.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
