I will check both obits against what I have. I have a lot of research, including some I paid to have done in Europe. When I looked briefly on "Frank and Walter," I didn't see anything. I will let you know.

I have done a quick look through my information but could find nothing. Could you send the obituary?

Re: Rusin - Russin Lackawanna County

mikkean — 2005-11-14 02:43:42Z

No, unfortunately, I have not yet found Frank's parents names. I did, however, find an obit today from one of his children that said his name was Walter. I think Frank may have been a middle name that he went by. I do know that both Frank and Josephine came over from Austria, but I do not know what town. They lived in Fayette County, PA. Frank died before 1918 and Josephine died in 1930.

Re: Rusin - Russin Lackawanna County

Do you know Frank's parents' names? Do you know the village he came from? My grandfather was from Habura, Austria/Hungary, which is now in Slovakia.

Russin, Basil (Wallace)

julia41222 — 2004-10-16 20:46:18Z

I am looking for ancestors of Basil (Wallace) Russin. He came to the United States in the late 1800's. He married Ula (Julia) Tritinik in 1898 in Olyphant, PA. They eventually moved to Lyndora, PA near Butler. I would like to know what village he came from. Also what village Julia came from. What their parents names were and if who their brothers and sisters were. I think he had a brother named Stefan. I think she had a sister named Anna. I think he was from Habura and she was from Dubrova. I would appreciate any information at all. Thank you.

julia41222 — 2004-10-16 20:46:18Z

The Wallace Russin in the article was my

war if I recall right. His picture is
in the church book. Write to me off
list please. Andrea

On www.familysearch.org there is a gedcom
file that you can look at/download. It is
under Jakob Rusin, who was born about 1745
in Tuszyma, Mielec, Rzeszow, Poland. There
is a child, Ewa Rusin who was born 1771 and
died 15 Aug 1847. Hope this helps you. You
might need Family Tree Maker to look at it,
I'm not sure. Let me know if I can help you.
Good luck.

CSurrena6188 — 2001-07-26 02:43:53Z

I think the Russins were neighbors of my mother's family in Lyndora. They were Julia and Walles Kanishak. Wallace Russin was from Habura according to the St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church Anniversary booklet. Who was the Wallace Russin who "advanced in rank". Lyndora Chronicles sites Wallace Russin Is Advanced in Rank--Kohler Avenue resident serving on U.S.S. Dakota at Vladivostok, Siberia. March 12, 1920? I am researching the Kanishak/Benko families and was in the Butler Courthouse today looking up naturalizations. Was Wallace Russin buried in Butler? Funeral home usually excellent source of knowledge.
