Your surname is distinctly Ukrainian. The sibilants make it a tough
transliteration/sounds like from Cyrillic to Latin Alphabet.
Rusniak/Rusyn/Lemko was/is a micro-ethnic Ruthenian group. Lemkos lived in
what was the Historical Province of Eastern Galicia/Halyczyna (in Ukrainian),
administered by ethnic Poles for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today
Lemkivsczyna is only a memory in SE Poland.
The key to your research is EXACT place of origin.
If you are having difficulty w/list, I can help you. Just provide me w/ancestor's
given name and place where did he/she settled upon immigration.
