Surnames:
I am trying to locate a history of St.John's Ukrainian Orthodox Church,
Clark Street, Sharon. The church was founded in 1926 and did publish a
history on its 50th anniversary in 1976. I would like to locate a
history of the parish published in the 1940s or 50s, if still
available. I collect the histories of Slav Orthodox and Greek Catholic
parishes. To date, I have acquired some 800 volumes, which, I believe,
is the largest collection its kind anywhere. Many thanks.
