I try to find where is situated WARTHEGAU. In 1944, my grand-father lived Sagenfeld, Nr 5, Warthegau. I don't know if this town in DEUTSCHLAND or in POLAND. For, before the war, he was living in FALKERBERG now NOWE SADY (Poland). In Sepp MULLER's Book, (FALKENBERG, ein deutsches Dorf in Galicia) I have read that my grand mother was dead in WARTHELAND, is-it the same town than WARTHEGAU and where is-it ? thanks for all pieces of information Marc in CALAIS (France) E-mail : [email protected]

Some history of the Slavs I have read: Byzantine Missions Among the Slavs by Francis Dvornik; The Slavs in European History and Civilization by Francis Dvornik; The Slavs, A Cultural and Historical Survey of the Slavonic Peoples by Roger Portal; The Lands Between, A History of East-Central Europe since the Congress of Vienna by Alan Palmer, to name a few. -- Ed Surkosky - [email protected] Yarko Kit <[email protected]> wrote in article <[email protected]>... > > Hi.

The Slavs are, after all, one of the three largest ethnolinguistic families in Europe, along with the Romance and Germanic peoples (not to ignore the less numerous Celts). Though Slavs from Siberia may not physically resemble those from Macedonia, they do share many linguistic traits. Indeed, the Slavic langauges are closer to one another, viewed as a group, than the Romance or Germanic languages. (It has even been suggested in recent decades that all Slavs should adopt a single Slavic spoken and literary language). Most Slavs are united by a Christian heritage that dates back to Saints Cyril (Constantine) and Methodius, who converted Moravia in the year 863. In one form or another, the Christian Cyrilo-Methodian heritage still unites Slavic Christians, whether Catholic or Orthodox (or Hussite). The Pan-Slavs of the 19th century were inspired by this Cyrilo-Methodian heritage and many dreamed of the day when all Slavs might be united politically and religiously. The Church Slavonic language which is used today in Orthodox and Greek Catholic liturgies is a modern form of the language devised by Cyril and Methodius. Ironically, a form of Slavic "unity" was achieved under communism -- one of the great tragedies of human history. This unity, a form of enslavement, was drastically different from the romantic notions of the 19th century Pan-Slavs. And yet, despite the tragedy of communism, there remain individuals even today who believe in the ideal of Pan-Slavism. One of the foremost Pan-Slavs of modern time was born in the town of Wadowice beneath the Carpathian mountains -- Karol Wojtyla, better known as Pope John Paul II. There are many scholarly works that espouse a Pan-Slavic view of history. One outstanding scholar who belongs in this group is Francis Dvornik, a Moravian who taught at Harvard. He authored many books, including The Slavs in European History and Civilization. I recommend this book highly. J.Piszczor

I agree that the question is very broad. I have a PhD in Slavic languages with a broad background in history, and I still begin with the Encyclopedia Britannica for the most concise presentation of scholarly consensus. There are good bibliographies. Go also to your library, whether public or university, and search for various subjects. What subject you search for depends on whether you want a very broad outline, a specialized volume on a narrow topic, or something particular to one ethnic group or nation. If you aren't sure what to search for, talk to the reference librarian. That's what they do. Gordon McDaniel [email protected]

The Slavs live in many different countries with very different histories. Southern Slavs have been separated from others for over a thousand years. They have very different religions. The question, as you pose it, means that you want a book about the following: History of Russia, history of cetral European kingdoms, history of the Holy Roman Empire, history of the Austrian Empire, history of the Ottoman Empire, history of the Orthodox religion, history of Catholicism, history of Islam in the Balkans, history of Protestant reformation and Catholic counter reformation, history of the Hussite heresy, and what not. Including all of the above into a single subject called Slavic history only creates confusion. It is a little bit like asking for a book about nations whose names begin with S.

The positions of Hungarian towns listed were scaled from, a Hungarian map of Saros county dated 1904. I stand corrected. According to the map NM 34-11 you are correct. John

Can anyone help????? Awhile ago, I sent out a request for a Czech penpal, hoping to find anyone that could possibly assist me. My dilemma, several replies told me I needed to be looking for a Slovak person, rather than a Czeck person. I mentioned in my message, a place called, "Velke Kapusany". What area was this in the early 1900's through 1920, was it czech or slovak or what? My grandmother's passport says, Czechslovakia, not Slovakia. Can anyone help?????????? Thanks, Betsy

I am looking for any inforamtion concerning those surnames. Steven Linehan [email protected]
