Description
Who am I? Where do my ancestors come from? Where specifically in eastern Europe are the villages where my parents or grandparents were born? Do those villages still exist? In what country are they located today? These are the questions which the third revised edition of this enormously popular large-scale color wall map and gazetteer can answer.
Carpatho-Rusyn Settlement: A Map and Gazetteer features:
- Large-scale, 30″ x 40″ wall map with Rusyn areas clearly indicated in color
- A total of 1,455 villages and towns in which the majority of inhabitants at the outset of the 20th century were Carpatho-Rusyns
- Among the above are over 200 villages (mostly in present-day southeast Slovakia and northeast Hungary) where in 1806 the majority spoke Rusyn
- Clear indication of the present-day borders of Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, and Hungary, as well as the historic Hungary county and Austrian district boundaries before World War I
- Inset map of Rusyn settlements in the Vojvodina and Srem regions of former Yugoslavia, and in the adjacent Banat region of Romania
- A gazetteer list with locational symbols for over 4,500 village and town names given in their pressent-day forms with cross-references to alternate names in either Croatian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Rusyn, Serbian, Slovak, or Ukrainian

Hi, in the main description, it says the map is 30 x 40 inches. But in the “additional information”, it gives the size as 14 1/2 x 8 inches. Is the smaller size the size of the shipping package with the map folded inside? I’m asking for friends in Europe who are confused.
George Bedrin –
Dear Ken,
Thanks for the inquiry. You are correct with the size.
