DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Czech it Out: Czech American Biography Sourcebook provides a wealth of information on a variety of sources relating to biographical information on notable Americans with Czech roots. Besides the national figures, also included are information sources on significant individuals at the state, regional, and local levels. Beyond that, we saw it fit to also incorporate ethnic information sources, which frequently contain a wealth of information on pioneer settlers and individuals active at the community level. Having in mind the interests of genealogists in individual families and their descendents, a listing has also been provided on family histories and genealogies. Even though Czechs have been living in the US practically since colonial times, no composite biographical dictionary exists about the accomplished Czech Americans. Biographical information about them is scattered in a plethora of sources, which are difficult to find and some are not readily accessible. The present author, who, literally, devoted several decades of his life to the study of Czech-American history, has canvassed hundreds of sources at national and local levels to identify, not only notable individuals but also pioneer settlers who played a significant role in the growth and development of the US. This publication should fill a great void in literature until a comprehensive biographical compendium about Czech Americans has been written.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book explores the adaptation processes of German-speaking immigrants and their descendants into New Zealand’s predominantly Anglophone society. Specifically, it considers the experiences and long-term consequences of the migration of more affluent European immigrants to New Zealand, where migration was predominantly a lifestyle choice. A comprehensive four-year study adds insights into the social integration and assimilation processes of the immigrants and their descendants, including intercultural marriage behaviour, work and educational achievements and community enrichments. It also considers the institutional and social reception of these immigrants and their children in New Zealand, and the effects these have had on them. Nexus Analysis reveals that strong motives for lifestyle migration enabled the immigrants to cope with unexpected institutional setbacks in New Zealand, and finds both shifts and maintenance in language and culture, and explores feelings of belonging and identities across three generations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is not an ordinary book. Whereas the American ethnic literature usually relates to immigrants and their accomplishments, this monograph's focus is on Americans who married them, specifically American men whose spouses were women with Czech or Bohemian roots. Images on the cover: John Jay (1745-1829), b. New York, NY, was a lawyer, American statesman, a patriot, diplomat, and one of Founding Fathers of the US, and 2nd Governor of New York and the first Chief Justice of the United States (1789-1795) who directed U.S. foreign policy for much of the 1780s. Sarah Van Brugh Livingston, whom he married, was a highly educated American socialite who was a strong support to her husband, astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time. She radiated such beauty and charm that she was mistaken for Marie Antoinette. Sarah was of Bohemian ancestry, having descended from Frederick Philipse.

Historically, this is the first serious undertaking of its kind. This is an invaluable reference to all researchers and students of Czech-American history, as well as to professionals and amateurs of Czech-American genealogy, and to individuals interested in immigration and cultural history, in general.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Join me for a family saga spanning five centuries in the ancient land of Bohemia. It's a tale of love and war. Lords and serfs. Death and disease. Mix in some lust and betrayal. Adventure and sacrifice. Hitler's vengeance and Czechoslovakia's brutal Communist regime. This is the true story of one family-the Matuskas-from the 1600s until today. Those who came to America and those who stayed behind. The story begins in the rolling, forested hills of South Bohemia where castles dot the landscape and two young serfs, Mandalena and Bartolomej, agreed to a marriage in the year 1603. Thousands of people living today can trace their roots back to this young couple who farmed in a small village south of Prague. I'm one of them, but for most of my life, I had no idea. Few of us really know our family history. Few of us realize what an incredible adventure awaits us if we just take the time to do a little digging. This is the story of my family's journey to find our ancestors and our Bohemian past. And the many surprises revealed along the way.
