Rusins, Rusyns, Ruthenians?

[Svetlana Grenier]

Dear colleagues,

Here is a question from someone who is translating a book about 
Orthodoxy in America, in which the author is dealing with various 
immigrant ethnic groups that were or became Eastern Orthodox:

"The author refers to the emigration to America of peoples:

из Австро-Венгрии ... русин, карпатороссов, галичан и буковинцев -- 
юго-западных разветвлений малороссов ...
[iz Avstro-Vengrii (emigratsiia) rusin, karpatorossov, galichan i 
bukovintsev--iugo-zapadnykh razvetvlenii malorossov]

Is there a single accepted or 'best' way to translate русин [rusin]? Is 
it Rusyn or Rusin or Ruthenians? And are these latter different from the 
карпаторосc [karpatoross]? "

Many thanks!
Svetlana Grenier
