A YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT I FOUND TO BE INTERESTING : DNA SCIENCE - LANGUAGE - CULTURE - ETHNICITY - HISTORY - ARCHEOLOGY

It's long been my policy not to embed videos from YouTube if there are commercials. I have no control of the commercials that come up and I hear that the poster doesn't either - therefore I can only offer you the links.  But what a YouTube Channel this is!  

I listened with fascination the following....

RUSYNS: Scientists Are Stunned by the Genetic Origins of the Rusyns : MYSTIC VOYAGE CHANNEL   (quick mention towards the end of Hungarians....)  CARPATHIANS

POLAND: What Polish DNA Reveals Will Rewrite European History? : MYSTIC VOYAGE CHANNEL

HITTITE: The Surprising Story Of Hittite DNA : MYSTIC VOYAGE 

ROMA GYPSIES : Why Roma Gypsies Carry DNA That Europe Tried to Erase? : MYSTIC VOYAGE

The Channel is sophisticated and reveals not just the latest understanding of DNA but also a knowledge of language, culture, history...  Archeology! I love it!

Just a note that I had a Hungarian friend of mine listened to the Poland one (I notice that the station has yet to date to do the Hungarians) and challenged it...

NATIONAL CARPATHO-RUSYN CULTURAL CENTER

 National Carpatho-Rusyn Cultural Center

There are a number of ways that people who lived in the Carpathian Mountains as a separate, East Slavic ethnicity are identified. Rusyn or Ruthenian, Greek Catholic, erroneously Russian. Within their ethnicity there are the Lemkos, the Boykos, and the Hutsels. A great number of Rusyn villages were and are in Hungary. Generally in the mountains of Slovakia, Belorus, and Ukraine, these people have not had a nation to call their own. Some intermarried or assimilated to the nation they found themselves living in.

The Spis area had some Rusyn habitations.

I've been checking on what's new with the people in a place called Munhall near Pittsburgh who started this organization a few years ago and learned they went National with about 1800 members. They have a number of information YouTube videos as well. If you or family members are Greek Catholic or Byzantine, and you find your surname on the list, you may share some Rusyn in your Hungarian Heritage. Listening to the short lecture by Mr. Rigatti, I learned that the Hungarian land Barons and Slovaks let the Rusyn people live their culture. Then things changed.
