The Feast Of Stephen
By ANNE BUCKLEY
The 1,000th anniversary of the crowning of St. Stephen as King of Hungary is a day of celebration like our Fourth of July in that Eastern European country. I found this out recently when I made some inquiries about the celebration of this anniversary that will take place in St. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday, Aug. 20.
We all know about St. Patrick's Day, celebrating the patron of Ireland ...

The Bukovina Society of the Americas

www.bukovinasociety.org covers the migration of Germans from Rhine-Palatinate, Württemberg and the Bohemian Forest in the late 1700's and early 1800's when they were recruited/motivated to settle Bukovina (land of beech trees), then a sparsely populated crown land of the Austrian Hungarian Empire. After one or two generations in Bukovina, scarcity of land and the attraction of the new world countries again motivated a migra ...

Finns in America
Patricia Latimer
It took nearly 300 years for America to discover the Finns!
Yet the 20th century version of these stalwart and historic people was hewn from the imperishable cornerstone of American civilization which was laid in the rugged, untamed wilderness in 1638. But for the providential recognition of the commanding genius of Jean Sibelius, the track triumphs of Paavo Nurmi and world-famed wardebt payments, the Finns might still be undiscovered ...

The First Polish Settlers
It was in the summer of 1608 that the group of Polish glass makers who were in London, England establishing a glass making industry, set sail on the Mary and Margaret for their journey to America. Until that time, England imported the majority of its glassware from Poland. In early 1608, the Virginia Company of London decided that they would establish a glass making industry in America which could sell its products to England and other countries. Since the glass m ...

Although a French flag of some sort is represented in “six flags over Texas” displays, France never—in any sense of political control—flew a flag over Texas and never gave her own citizens strong reasons for emigration.
However, René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, did make one foray west of the drainage of the Mississippi, and General Charles Lallemand did lead a short-lived military colony into East Texas.
France, in the New World, was more interested in trade than settlement and was ...

German Emigration to Pittsburgh
Germans were the first settlers in western Pennsylvania, initially migrating here as early as 1708, and living in settlements by 1788.
The first Germans settlers in the early 1700's were from the Palatinate (a district in south-west Germany that belonged to Bavaria until 1945), mostly of the lower social class. A second migration between 1728 and 1804 brought middle and upper class Germans to Pennsylvania.
The mass influx of the Germans during the early eight ...

German Immigration
It is difficult to define the term "German" (and thus, "German" migration) because of the changing boundaries of the state of Germany and other Germanic nations. Germans are often defined as those individuals from areas where forms of German have traditionally been spoken, including today's Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Bohemia, and parts of Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, and the former Yugoslavia.
During the mid-1800s, the part of Europe that is now considered "Germany" con ...

Texans of German birth or descent have, since the mid-19th century, made up one of the largest ethnic groups in the state. By 1850 they numbered five percent of the total population—a conservative count. The 1990 census listed more than 17 percent of the population, nearly three million individuals, claiming German heritage.

Germans who chose Texas as a home were, in the migrations from 1830 to 1900, anything but a uniform group. Early emigration came from a land of provinces ...

Hungarian Emigration to Pittsburgh
The emerging steel industry of the 1880s required cheap unskilled laborers, and found an abundance of them in the Hungarians, who first arrived in ample numbers in the 1880s to man the mills of McKeesport.
After the strike of 1892, the Carnegie Company increased the number of immigrant workers. The hard-working Hungarians soon became the labor nucleus in Homestead. The Hungarians were among the lowest-paid mill workers; as a result, many of the men were forc ...

Introduction - A people of hope

When you think of people struck by unbelievable hardships and misery, it might not be so hard to believe that a part of their soul dies with each passing day. But one should know that even if you experience the worst imaginable disaster and survive, there still exists a small light of hope in your mind. Without this light, it would be impossible to live on. So in a corner of every human being’s mind, especially of those who cam ...

Their culture and traditions combined with America's to add even more flavor to the great American melting pot.
Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century an estimated 300,000 Lithuanians journeyed to America. During this time, however, combined effects of World War I, United States imm ...

Polish Emigration to Pittsburgh
The decline of the feudal system and emancipation of the peasantry in early nineteenth-century Poland enhanced the social and economic position of the Poles. But rather than distributing land equally, wealthier peasants ended up with most of the land. As a result of seventy years of trying to survive on land that was increasingly monopolized, the rural Poles had little choice but to move.
Unlike the blacks who came to Pittsburgh with defined aspirations, the Po ...

Russian Emigration to Pittsburgh
Prior to 1880, 75-percent of western Pennsylvania's immigrants came from northern Europe, the rest from eastern and southern Europe. But 1882 started the "new immigration", reversing previous migration patterns.
Between 1890 and 1900, the number of immigrants coming from Slavic countries more than doubled. The new immigrants were the Poles, Austrians, Italians, Russians and other Slavic races. But of all the Slavic immigrants who came to the Steel Valley, the ...

Ukranian Emigration to Pittsburgh
In an attempt to break a long strike in 1877, a Pennsylvania coal company agent went to Ukraine to recruit mine laborers, promising high wages and steady jobs.
The conscripts said good-bye to their worried relatives.
