    @Paul_Titov yes, many were. The population dropped significantly and since then never recovered to that level again.

    It's sad. May be this village has own unique history, but I think it is kind of global process (migration from village to city).

    @Andrey it was a village that was forced to leave because of famine...many would have went to the workhouses or emigrated on coffin ships to the USA or Canada.
