About Vidkryty

In the years that I have been researching my Rusyn heritage, I've accumulated a long list of resources. These resources span a variety of subjects, including genealogy, history and culture. I had reached the point where I was having a hard time remembering where a certain tidbit of information was located, and clicking through my many bookmarks was cumbersome. So I decided to create a mini, "personal" search engine for my own use by indexing all my bookmarks on the subject of Rusyn history, culture and genealogy. It worked well enough for my own use that I decided to release it to the public on the chance someone else may find it useful in their genealogy research.

So I created this "research engine" dedicated to the history, culture and genealogy of the Rusyn people of the Carpathian Mountains. In addition to my own list of resources, I've added others that I've found, and will continue to do so. If you know of a site on this subject, and think it should be included, please let me know.
