The Rusyn community and church of Dundaff will certainly be covered in my book. Would love to hear about any info you have on the community's history. I have a 1988 50th anniversary book, which has some nice old photos, and have been to the church & cemetery and have info mainly from the Simpson churches' records that show who settled in Dundaff and from which European villages...Rich Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826555565508596486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029355823264054932.post-81971215834533396002015-07-19T08:03:07.230-04:002015-07-19T08:03:07.230-04:00Would like to see Saint John the Baptist in Dundaf...Would like to see Saint John the Baptist in Dundaff, PA on the list.

My grandmother was married there in 1901 soon after arriving in America and after being widowed, married my grandfather there in 1920. My parents married there in 1943. Sadly very few parishioners left when I last visited in 2013. I remember when the old steeple was replaced for safety reasons in the 50s. I wish I had a photo of how it looked back then.<br />Eileen BackofenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029355823264054932.post-35138894267287505612015-07-16T06:46:35.494-04:002015-07-16T06:46:35.494-04:00Very nice work Rich.
