HEAR THE "AMERIKA LIED" AT www.the-burgenland-bunch.org~ This first section of our 2-section newsletter concerns: 1. Burgenland Ethnic Links? 2. Size of Burgenland Family Database? 3. Krobotek Records 4. Burgenland Immigrant Obituaries 5. Körmend, Vas Megye, Hungary 6. Village Of Krobotek (District of Jennersdorf) 1. BURGENLAND ETHNIC LINKS A recent question from Membership editor Hannes Graf asks, "How many people of Burgenland ethnic origin can be found in the US and Canada?" Specifically, how many are active in some sort of ethnic club or enterprise? This of course begs the question, how does one look for them? Prior to forming the Burgenland Bunch, I did a lot of research looking for Burgenland information. What I found requires peeling many layers of ethnicity. One starts with the words: Germanic (often Teutonic), then Austrian, then Royal Hungary, then finally Burgenland (after 1921). One can also search Hungary, Austro/Hungarian, Vas, Sopron, Moson Megye and western Hungary (Transdanubia). Ethnicity of American or Canadian Clubs follow a similar pattern. People of Burgenland origin (immigrants or descendants) will be found in German or Hungarian Clubs as well as Austrian and even some Slavic (Croatian). There are very few, if any, "pure" Burgenland organizations other than the Burgenländische Gemeinschaft or the Burgenland Bunch. Even within these organizations, you will find people mainly interested in Hungarian or Croatian family history. BB staff member Anna Kresh supports this diversity with the following: Anna writes: It would be extremely difficult to calculate how many (Burgenländers) there are in the Pittsburgh area; they are not organized that way. When we moved here, I tried for more than 25 years to find a Burgenland-related organization because I was homesick for the Lehigh Valley Burgenland community and all its traditional activities. Then I found the Austrian American Cultural Society. Surprisingly, the older, most active members are actually Burgenland émigrés or descendants, so there must be a lot here -- we just don't know about them. There is a sizeable "German" population here in the Troy Hill area and a very popular and very active Teutonia Männerchor with an associated Damenchor. Everyone refers to them as The German Club. It seems the club never wants for new membership, for there is something going on all the time and you can go there almost every day for German food. Many Austrians belong because there is no specifically Austrian club in the area. When I was interviewed by our local Butler, PA, newspaper about my genealogy work, three ladies called me because of the mention of Burgenland in the article. They, or their husbands, were born in Burgenland. So they are here - they are just hidden. Probably BG membership is the best indicator of Burgenland heritage here. ED. continuation: In Wilmington, DE, we were members of the Austrian/American Club along with Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and Croatians. I might also mention that, in a "purely" Burgenland organization, you might also find that it may be fractured even further into northern, middle or southern Burgenland or even be district- or village-specific. 2. SIZE OF BURGENLAND FAMILY DATABASE? A recent question concerned the number of possible people in the US or Canada with Burgenland origins. While no "official" number is available, we can (1) ask ourselves how many are members of Burgenland organizations and then (2) try to do some sort of statistical guestimate. The first is easy, we just add our 1,600+ and the BG members and maybe those who have posted queries to our query board; total, less than 7,000. The second involves some mental gymnastics. We know we had 40,000 Burgenland immigrants 1880-1924, with about a 25% return or a net of 30,000. To that we can add about 2,000 before 1880 and maybe as many as 15,000 after 1924. A guestimate of 47,000-50,000 immigrants to-date. Assuming 25 years per generation, a family birth rate of 2, and an average actuarial life span of no more than 75 years, we have geometric totals of: From the earlier migration (1880-1924): The 32,000 had 64,000 children (who in turn had 2 each, etc.) 1924: 64,000 (none still living) who had 1949: 128,000 (half still living?) who had 1974: 256.000 (all still living?) who had 1999: 512,000 (all still living?) Total possible living descendants from first migration 832,000. From later migration (1924-forward): 15,000 less 25% return equals 11,250, who had 2 children each or 22,500... 1949: 45,000 (half still living?) who had 1974: 90,000 (all still living?) who had 1999: 180,000 (all still living) Total possible living descendants from second migration 292,500. Total to-date: 832,000 + 292,500 = 1,124,500 or 1.2 million (rounded) descendants with a possible link to the Burgenland. Given we have about 5,000 BB and BG members, meaning about 0.4% of the possibles, we have lots of people still to contact! You can adjust these estimates by increasing or decreasing family size, and many immigrants married other immigrants (which would remove one immigrant per marriage from the family estimates, etc.), but I'd estimate that we are still talking about ONE MILLION possible BURGENLAND PEOPLE involved with the US and Canadian population. Of course many descendants today may not realize that, giving our work major importance in linking today's populations with the Heimat. That 40,000 immigrant estimate and the 25% return rate are solid figures from emigration studies. The rest is just conjecture. 3. KROBOTEK RECORDS (from Tom Steichen & Ed Malesky) Select Krobotek Birth, Marriage and Death Records During Fall 2007, BB member Ed Malesky worked with the LDS films of the church records for Krobotek (Hungarian: Horvátfalu; Croatian: Hrvatski Kut) to research his mother's Ehritz family. Ed says he eventually digitally photographed "virtually every page from 1825 to 1890 with an Ehritz on it (about 900 photos). I then extracted all the Ehritz information. There were about 260 birth records, 53 marriage records and 103 death records." He recently shared his work with the BB and we have added the extracted information to the BB web pages. The data can be found via a link near the bottom of the home page that is titled "Select Krobotek Church Records: BB Member Ed Malesky's extracts of 260 birth records, 53 marriage records and 103 death records." A direct link to the master page is: www.the-burgenland-bunch.org/ChurchRecords/Krobotek/KrobotekRecords.htm The digital photographs will also be made available to interested researchers after we determine a method for distribution. 4. BURGENLAND IMMIGRANT OBITUARIES (courtesy Bob Strauch) * Mary Remsing, 87, of Nazareth, formerly of Bath, died March 28, 2008 in St. Lukes Hospital, Fountain Hill.

She was the wife of the late Frank J. Keglovitz who died March 21, 1985. 5. KÖRMEND, VAS MEGYE, HUNGARY Körmend was an important city for Burgenland inhabitants. It was an important market town and one of the seats of the Batthyány family. It was on the road connecting Graz with Budapest. It is still an important Hungarian city and the area contributed many immigrants to the Americas. Correspondent writes: Hello, I am new to the Burgenland list. My ancestors are from the town of Körmend in present-day Hungary. I would like to research the town of Körmend and find out more about its history. When I Google Körmend, I see references to Burgenland. Official Hungarian web sites on the town make no reference to Burgenland. Can anyone help me to figure out when Körmend was a part of Burgenland and for how long? Do people in Körmend identify as Burgenländers or as Hungarians? Did the population of Körmend consist mostly of immigrants from Burgenland? Reply: Körmend, Hungary, (pop. 12,500) and a good portion of today's Burgenland were part of the Hungarian Megye (county) of Vas. In 1921, much of the counties of Vas, Sopron and Moson, but not Körmend (all in Western Hungary), were given to Austria (Treaty of Trianon) as a result of the dismemberment of the Austro/Hungarian Empire. Körmend therefore is not part of Burgenland, first named as a Province Of Austria in 1921. Thus people from there were and are Hungarians, although there was also a German-speaking minority, ethnically cleansed to Austria and Germany after WW-II. Most of the population has Hungarian (Magyar) origin but there were German- and Croatian-speaking settlers over the centuries. Religion is mostly RC with some Lutheran and Reformed (Calvinist). Körmend is a little too far east to be included in the Burgenland Bunch research but see our website for possibly more data. www.the-burgenland-bunch.org Körmend remained in Hungary and is one of the larger cities of today's Hungarian Vas Megye. It is at the junction of several major (Rts 8, 76, 86, E65) roads. It is along the Rába River and was first mentioned in the year 1238. Royal charter granted by Hungarian King Bela IV in 1244. Three other villages were added to it in the last century. Your immigrant ancestor may have also come from one of them: they were Alsóberkifalu, Felsöberkifalu and Horvátnádalja. Aristocratic family and owners of the domain prior to WW-I were the Batthyány; their palace is now a national monument. Correspondent writes further: I'm trying to figure out where my SCHREINER ancestors may possibly have come prior to showing up in the Körmend 1796 census. SCHREINER seems like Germanic names, so I thought maybe they could have come from Burgenland, since it's now in Austria. But since it used to be part of Hungary and much of the population was ethnic Hungarian, I might have to look elsewhere. Reply: Yes, Schreiner is definitely Germanic (means "cabinet maker" from the Latin "scrinarius"). There is a shortened form as well: "Schrein." After the second siege of Vienna (1683), most of western Hungary was depopulated by the Turkish forces (killed, taken as slaves, etc.), famine and plague. Many villages were empty of people, so the crown, as well as aristocratic families, put out a call for settlers. They offered all sorts of inducements: no military service for a while, tax breaks, even money, etc. Most of the settlers then came from western Austria (Styria and Lower Austria) or southern Germany: Bavaria, Swabia, even the Palatinate (Rhein-Hesse today). A little later, 1750's on, there was also the Donau-Swabian movement of thousands of colonists down the Danube, creating new villages in southwestern Hungary. Before 1600, most names in your area were Magyar or Slavic; after that, Germanic names appear until they almost replace all the others. I believe our immigrant (to the US) ancestors mostly stem from these later colonists. As you say, the records seem to support that. It is very difficult to trace these colonists to their places of origin. I've traced mine to the area around Graz about 1650 but with no definite links. The best I can suggest is that you use the online phone lists to search for concentrations of the names you are researching. That will give you possible nearby places of origin, but finding the birth-marriage links are almost impossible. The best you can hope for is that some record (church or land inventory) may mention the place of origin; I've seen a very few that way. Some villages also have an oral history of their peoples' place of origin... but I don't offer much hope. 6. VILLAGE OF KROBOTEK Krobotek, district of Jennersdorf was known as Horvátfalu, district of Szentgotthárd, Hungary, prior to 1921. It is now part of the southern Burgenland community of Weichselbaum, along with Rosendorf (total population of all three villages is 884). There is an RC chapel but the parish church is in Weichselbaum (Church of Maria-Bild, 1793) and the civil records are in Mogersdorf. There are Roman ruins in the area, which was later settled by Cistercian monks from the monastery of Heiligenkreuz, Lower Austria about 1184. They built the cathedral at St. Gotthárd about 1187. The villages were probably part of those cathedral holdings. It is not known when Krobotek was first founded. The entire area was subjected to pillage and plunder during the Turkish Wars and Hungarian rebellions. Krobotek is a German-speaking linear village with only 360 inhabitants, mainly engaged in grape and wine production. Located in the Raab Valley, near the Grieselstein woods, the area contributed immigrants to the Auswanderung. The first from Krobotek was Karl Schmidt (b1883) who settled in Allentown, PA, in 1898. There were many early Ehritz families in Krobotek; see BB record webpage. Gasthaus Deutsch in Weichselbaum was sold to the Deutsch family by Maria Ehritz in 1959. Only one Ehritz family is now listed in the 1993 phone book (under Weichselbaum). Newsletter continues as number 174A.

THE BURGENLAND BUNCH NEWS - No. 174A DEDICATED TO AUSTRIAN-HUNGARIAN BURGENLAND FAMILY HISTORY (Our 13th Year- Issued monthly as email by Gerald Berghold) April 30, 2008 (c) 2008 G. J. Berghold - all rights reserved) ~THERE WILL BE NO MAY BB NEWSLETTER. NEXT NEWSLETTER WILL BE JUNE 30, 2008.~ ~HAVE YOU VISITED THE BB SONGBOOK AVAILABLE FROM THE BB HOMEPAGE?~ The second section of this 2-section newsletter includes: 1. BH&R Website Hits A Milestone 2. Borderland Book Availability 3. Tale From First Generation Descendant Of 1950's Hungarian Auswanderung 4. ORF-Austrian Radio Burgenland Section 5. Slavery During Time Of The Turk - Village Of Purbach 6. "Amerika Lied" - BB Songbook 1. BH&R WEBSITE HITS A MILESTONE (by BB staff member Frank Paukovits) The Burgenländers Honored and Remembered (BH&R) website hit a milestone in March 2008. The Remembrance List of deceased Burgenländers reached 4,000 in March when Kim DiRoberts, a BB member, added the name of her uncle, Fabian Hütter, to the site. Fabian Hütter was born in 1924 in Tschanigraben. He immigrated to the US as a boy and lived in Allentown most of his life. He served in the US Army during WW-II and passed away in 2004. He is buried in the Long Island National Cemetery, a cemetery for veterans and their spouses in Farmingdale, New York. It is fitting that someone in the BB added the name, because so many of its members have such strong feelings for their ancestry and deceased family members. Kim has been a BB Member for about four years. She was born and raised in the Bronx but now lives in Arizona. Her family roots are from both Italy (father's side) and Burgenland (mother's side). She first researched her Italian roots and is now actively researching the Burgenland side of her family, which is largely from the Hungarian/Burgenland border area near Radling. Bob Strauch and Margaret Kaiser have been invaluable in the development of the site and adding to its content. Bob, with the help Ed and Frank Tantsits, has been able to significantly increase the Remembrance List for deceased immigrants from the Lehigh Valley enclave. That segment of the site alone includes more than 3,000 names. Considering that we not only include the names of the people but the towns in Burgenland where they came from, and for many women their maiden names, is noteworthy. Because of the number of people in our database and the information provided, I believe the site should become more and more useful as a research tool for our BB members as time goes on. Also, I have identified a significant number of people who could be added to the site from the South Bend enclave if I could identify the cemeteries where they are buried. I have the information, but would need someone to go to the library in South Bend to look at the obits. My guess is that it would take just a few hours, and we could probably add another hundred names to the site. I know we have a number of BB members from the South Bend area, and maybe there is someone in the area who would be willing to help. If so, please contact me. Additionally, I encourage all of our members to take a look at the BH&R site (there's a link to it on the BB Homepage) and let me know if they have any names that they would like added of relatives that are not yet included. It's a great way to honor and memorialize the people who provided us with such fond memories and traditions that most of us hold so dearly. 2. BORDERLAND BOOK AVAILABILITY Member Matt Boisen writes: Just reading about the scarcity of "Borderland". I found my copy on eBay for $14 about two years ago. I've seen one other copy offered since then. I would advise to keep checking or use a search tool as an alert in case a copy comes up for auction. Keep up the good work! Staff member Steve Geosits writes: For those having difficulty in obtaining a copy of "Borderland; A Historical and Geographical Study of Burgenland, Austria", you can check if any libraries near you carry the book. Go to the following link and enter your zip code. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/326674&tab=holdings?loc= 3. TALE FROM FIRST GENERATION DESCENDANT OF 1950'S HUNGARIAN AUSWANDERUNG Correspondent writes: I found the Burgenland Bunch website and, although I should be in bed sleeping, I have been fascinated reading your archived newsletters. My name is Julianna, I am a first-generation American. I was born in Chicago six months after my parents arrived in the USA in 1956 with my two older siblings and only one change of clothes per person. They left their village of Kophaza, Hungary, in search of a better life and found it here in Chicago. In reading your story and others stories, I felt a certain kinship with you because my father, a skilled cabinetmaker, found employment shortly after arriving and worked that same job until he retired. I have had the pleasure of visiting Austria/Hungary 4 times in my life and was able to meet a grandmother, a grandfather and aunts, uncles and cousins that still lived there. My last visit was in 2000 when I took my three daughters to see where some of their roots are. Over Easter, when I was visiting my 90-year-old godmother, she had given a box to her niece that contained old photographs and some other keepsakes. Her niece laid a small prayer book down on the table. I picked it up and, as I looked inside, I saw that it was written in Croatian. This is the native tongue of my grandparents and my parents, and I asked her if she is able to read or speak Croatian. She replied "No" and offered the book to me. Although I know this book did not belong to my grandmother, I can't help but feel a connection to her, who I met 44 years ago for the first time. She took me to church that Christmas and she carried with her a small black prayer book and followed along during the mass and she sang out loud and proud... while I looked up at her and felt a love for a lady I never known before, the lady whose name I was given on the day of my birth. I have no earthy possessions of my grandparents, they were very poor people by material means, but I believe in my heart, my grandmother was the richest lady in the world, spiritually. She gave me something that no one can ever take from me; it's something I cannot put into words. That very first visit to Hungary, when I was 6 or 7 years old, lives in my memory and is as alive today as it was when it happened. I want to tell you one little story from that visit that is a very fond memory for me. It was winter and Christmas time when my mother took me with her to meet my grandparents and the rest of the family still living in Hungary. My grandparents lived in a 2-room house. No indoor plumbing at all. There was an outhouse and a well outside, with a wood burning stove for heat and cooking in the kitchen. Each morning my grandmother would put bricks on top of the stove and leave them there all day. At night she wrapped the bricks in towels and placed them at the foot of the bed, underneath huge feather blankets that they called blazinjas (not sure of the spelling). I was just a little girl and it was so cold in that room, but I jumped into the bed and she covered me with a HUGE feather blanket. I felt swallowed up by it and rubbed my feet on the hot wrapped bricks. The heat from the bricks warmed up that bed so fast and I was so warm. That is my keepsake from my grandmother... it's very special to me and I will have it forever. My family surnames are Solyomi, Sinkovits, Grubits, Hienrich (or is it Heinrich), Firtl. One day I will again return to Hungary and I will go to the church and ask for copies of the family records so that my children and their children's children will know a tiny bit of who they are and where they come from. Thank you for your time and for reading my story. 4. ORF AUSTRIAN RADIO BURGENLAND SECTION (courtesy Bob Strauch) (ED. Note: ORF, or Austrian Radio Service, has news sections by province, therefore there is a Burgenland section. In addition to local news events, there are always featured articles of local interest, often with village pictures. Two articles recently forwarded by Bob Strauch feature Bauernbrodt (farmer's or peasant bread) and traditional printed cloth. ORF can be reached at http://burgenland.orf.at/ (click on Burgenland section) or from our homepage Internet Links - Radio & Music Sources - ORF Landesstudio Burgenland. Bob suggests you visit the following:) Bread from Deutsch Bieling http://burgenland.orf.at/magazin/imland/erleben/stories/271987/ A Burgenland folk-art tradition continues: the Koó Family in Steinberg http://burgenland.orf.at/magazin/imland/erleben/stories/271570/ http://www.originalblaudruck.at/ (The Bgld. delegation handed out examples of the Koó family's "Blaudruck" as gifts during their visit last year) 5. SLAVERY DURING TIME OF THE TURK - VILLAGE OF PURBACH (courtesy Margaret Kaiser & Bob Strauch) (ED Note: During the Turkish Wars, slaves were a valuable commodity, and so many were sent back to Istanbul that for many years the market for white, Christian slaves was very depressed. Many villages were depopulated, setting the stage for post-invasion colonization. Following is an oral tradition of such slavery. The village of Purbach (district of Eisenstadt) was in the path of Turkish invasion, suffered greatly and has relics of those times.) Margaret Kaiser suggests: www.pitt.edu/~dash/purbach.html Andreas Grein of Purbach, a legend about Turkish slavery from Burgenland, Austria During the Turkish wars, the wild hordes of riders advanced as far as Purbach. On such occasions, the townspeople of Purbach fled into the nearby Leitha Mountains to seek refuge there from the hordes. During one such attack, Andreas Grein remained at home. When the Turkish horde found Grein, they placed him in handcuffs, tied him to a horse's tail, and thus forced him to run along behind. The Turks took Grein back to their country, where he was housed in a stall and forced to pull a plow by day. For food he received nuts and millet. After seven years of terrible suffering, he succeeded, with the help of a fellow countrywoman, in escaping from Turkey. In October 1647, after traveling on foot for many months, he arrived at Purbach. He stopped to rest on his own property, about 1000 steps from the town. He then went to his home, where he encountered his wife, who had recently remarried. She did not recognize Grein, because of his wild appearance. After much discussion, she recognized her husband from his voice. She asked him for forgiveness, and they lived happily together until they died. The second husband, of course, had to step aside. At the place where he had rested, Grein erected a Holy Trinity column, inscribed with the year 1647. Source: Inscription on a roadside plaque near Purbach, Burgenland, Austria. Transcribed and translated by D. L. Ashliman, July 10, 1997. Bob Strauch adds: The Purbach town website has a page about Andreas Grein - his house, the column, and a votive picture. The text says that, according to the legend, he was abducted at the age of 10 or 12 (he was married at that age?) http://www.purbach.at/seite.mv?40-21-35-00 6. "AMERIKA LIED" - BB SONGBOOK If you link to our homepage at www.the-burgenland-bunch.org with your speakers turned on, you will hear the subject song. It is a haunting melody that brings back the time of the Auswanderung. Along with other songs, you'll find the music and words at the BB Songbook link. The words start: "Now is the time and hour we travel to Amerika." Next to this song you will also find the Burgenland state anthem, the Burgenländische Landeshymne "My native people, my native land". When I was presented with my "Ehrenzeichen" medal in 2001, a chorus sang this anthem and the music brought back images of my grandparents and tears to my eyes. Other songs in our songbook may well bring back memories of your own family immigrants. Our Songbook is a joint effort of Membership Editor Hannes Graf and BB President Tom Steichen. You may wish to copy the music or add it to your MP3 hardware.
