Does anybody out there have a list of Greek Catholic priests circa 1910?
I'm looking for any information anybody may have on a Father Paul Tymkevich. He's described as a "Ruthenian Greek-Catholic priest of Yonkers" in Emily Greene Balch's "Our Slavic Fellow Citizens" from 1910 and I'm wondering if he was a Ruthenian or Ukrainian G.C. priest.

Tim, FYI. The Archives of "The Ukrainian Weekly" published by the Ukrainian National Association contain a reference to an article in Vol. II, No. 48, Friday, November 30, 1934, by a Zenovia Tymkevich, titled "The Charm of Our Dance".

There was a Father Paul Tymkevich, originally from the Peremyshl Eparchy, ordained priest in 1896, who apparently came to first to the USA and then went to Canada in 1898, served in the Edna/Star parish in Alberta, then in Edmonton for a brief period, and in Yonkers 1898-1905. All these dates are of course approximate. He returned to Galicia before World War I and appears to have died there in October 1930. There's no indication of his marital status, but from the dates and so forth it seems likely that he was married. Further information MIGHT be available in the relevant parishes, and/or in whatever remains in Philadelphia from the days of Bishop Soter (Ortynsky).
