Do you have a genealogy question? Assistance Available

On October 26, 1918 representatives of 21 stateless peoples gathered in historic Independence Hall in Philadelphia and signed a Declaration of Common Aims. This was the first time in modern history that Carpatho-Rusyns were recognized as a distinct nationality by neighboring peoples and the United States government.

Come and celebrate this momentous occasion with us.

We will be available to answer questions about your genealogy research or try to find other resources to help you on your way.

Light refreshments will be served.
