    Ken, in addition to the great advice below about Czaszyn, here is a list of surnames of landowners in the village in 1787, including two Salak families.

    http://www.carpatho-rusyn.org/new/325.htm

    Where did your grandfather settle? The hot spots for Czaszyn emigrants were mostly in eastern Pennsylvania, especially Maizeville / Gilberton / Mahanoy Plane, Frackville, and Saint Clair, in Schuylkill County, around Freeland near Hazleton in Luzerne County, the Northampton and Allentown areas, and in western PA, as Hunter mentioned, also Monessen (and McKeesport) around Pittsburgh.

    Hi Ken and Hunter.

      Additional info from Karen Rosneck

    A couple of other things of potential interest to Ken and others with Rusyn ancestry in what's now Poland. The three-volume set-- _Knyha pam'iati Lemkivshchyny, 1944-1946) (L'viv, 2016) lists the names of all those who were deported by the Polish authorities to Ukraine at this time. Volume three (p. 647-51) includes the village of Czaszyn. All these people were sent either to Ternopil'ska oblast' (Ternopil' Province) or L'vivska oblast' (L'viv Province) in Ukraine. The listing of names of the deportees for each villages includes date of birth, house number and occupation.

    Bogdan Horbal's very helpful recent reference work: _Lemko Studies: A Handbook_ (NY, 2010) includes a listing (Appendix II) of research studies on individual villages which also can be helpful in finding out more about the history of your ancestral village. In this case, Czaszyn was listed but unfortunately without a any studies identified.

    Ken, 

    My Great-Grandfather, Jan Miszczyszyn (1881) was from Czaszyn, Lisko, Galicia. 

    His parents were Ivan Miszczyszyn & Zofia Kudlik. 

    I have little information on his parents, but hope to visit Czaszyn in the near future. I know that Jan immigrated from Czaszyn in 1901 and settled in Monessen, PA. He married my Great-Grandmother, Katarzyna Dobrzanska in 1908. Katarzyna was from Lukowe, Lisko, Galicia.

    Hi Ken,

       Here is information on your town. Credits go to Karen Rosneck

    1. There is a Czałczyn , but I don't think this is a Rusyn/Lemko village (see sites below)

    https://www.lopuszno.pl/samorzad/solectwa/czalczyn (official village site at the district's page)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czałczyn (Wikipedia entry about the village in English)


    2. There also is a Czaszyn which may be what he means, formerly in Sanok County, now Krosno County, that is a Lemko/Rusyn village:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czaszyn (Wikipedia entry in English on the village)

    http://www.czaszyn.pl/ (official website for the village, many nice photos)
    [Use Google Translate [ translate.google.com ], copying and pasting portions into the search boxes (after setting the desired languages in the drop-down boxes to English and Polish, to get a rough translation if he knows little or no Polish].

    3. For more on tracing Lemko Rusyn roots in Poland:

    Try, for example: https://lemko-ool.com/?p=2187&lang=en (nice selection of resources by The Organization for Defense of Lemkivshchyna (NY) (they publish a magazine called _Lemkivshchyna_ (in Ukrainian and some English) about Lemkos (many living presently in Ukraine after the forced resettlement there by Poles known as Operation Operation Vistula [Polish: Akcja Wisła] in 1947).

    See also the the parish records scanned and available online for various parishes at: https://geneteka.genealodzy.pl/index.php?op=gt&lang=&w=09pk&rid=5338 (Polskie Towarzystwo Genealogiczne [Polish Genealogical Society]) This may be another way to identify and verify the village name if necessary. Many Polish archives also have scanned parish registers and other documents available online to be accessed at their websites more directly if preferred.

    Hi Ken,

       I will contact a researcher who may be familiar with that village and see what I can find. Will  post here the info I find. The Carpatho-Rusyn Society Facebook Group may also be of some help.

    Thank you for posting,

    Sharon
