This family is part of my one-place study of St. Dimitry’s Greek Catholic (today Byzantine Catholic) Church parish, serving Udol and Hajtovka, Slovakia, covering the years 1827-about 1920. I will be sharing family records, roughly once a week, until all families in the parish are posted. Be aware that ages at marriage and death frequently don’t match baptismal records, when found. If you have ancestors who lived in these two villages and would like to receive an invitation to a shared Dropbox folder, please leave a comment and I will contact you.

The surname of Osifcsin is found with many spellings – OSIFCSIN, OSZIFTSIN, OSZIPHCSIN, OSZIPHOV, OSZIF – in the Udol church records. “Osif” is from the given name Joseph, while “csin” at the end seems to signify a younger generation until it became the actual surname.
Earlier and extended members of this family lived nearby in Maly Lipnik.
In America, the surname is most commonly found as OSIFCHIN.
