So me and my friend like to learn about our families history. And i know everything about my family, but he knows nothing about his, since they moved from Lwow to Vojvodina. (His grand grand father moved). His last name is Caљeк, but i cannot find anything about Caљeк family online, but i found SALIKs and SALEKs. Both families are from western Ukraine. Can someone from Poland and Ukraine find something about his family?

Brody Kelly
Is a polish surname, Sałek
Jackson Edwards
Are you sure? SaLek is pronounced with W, and Љ is only soft L
David Robinson
Is your friend Pannonian Rusyn? Rusyns are not Ukranians.
Aiden Sullivan
He is not Rusyn.
Dylan Evans
Then what is he?
Samuel Wilson
>Lwow >Rusyns Brainlet spotted. Rusyns live in Subcarpathia and Slovakia, not in Galicia.
Luis Barnes
I asked you if he is Ukrainian or Polish. He knows that he is not a Rusyn.
Levi Hernandez
They also live in Carpathian Ukraine, though they are thoroughly ukranianized by hohols who deny them any minority rights. So he doesn't know what he is? I'm asking because many Pannonian Rusyns originally settled from that region.
Anthony Thomas
>They also live in Carpathian Ukraine That's what I said. NOT in Galicia.
Jacob Bailey
Sounds very generic, you have to provide more info.

>implying Ruthenen doesn't mean Ukrainian, Rusyn and Belarusian in this context
Adam Cook
There were no Ukranians pre-USSR
Brody Edwards
They were all called Ruthenes.
Asher Phillips
Ruthenians = Rusyns.
Brandon Hernandez
>everything from Uzhgorod to Minsk are Rusyns
Jace Wilson
Ruthenian is literally a synonym for Rusyns.

>Implying all slavs aren't just Serbs
Jackson Brooks
>Belarusians are Rusyns
Josiah Morales
Serbs are not Slavs to begin with, they're gypsies and turks
Blake Sullivan
What did he mean by this
for ages the term Serb and Serbs were applied to all Slavdom and in fact the Serbs are the original Slavs, or at least the oldest slavic peoples.
Parker Wood
Real Slavs are R1a Indo-Europeans, fair haired and blue/grey eyed. Serbs are Balkanoid shitskins with Middle Eastern genetics.
