Elizabeth, I am very thankful to you for sharing this study. Having grown up in Queens NY, I heard stories as a child about the plight of immigrants who lived during the later 1800's and early 1900's in a tenement in NYC. Stories about Hell's kitchen (of movie lore), the Junkie priest who went into these neighborhoods to rescue teens caught up in an addiction/ gangs. Now, I can read about what it really was like for many Hungarians who made their first home in America there. My grandparents found their way to Yonkers, where they lived in a Hungarian community, and our family later branched out across America to find opportunity for themselves and their family. Some even became "famous", like my cousin (a 3rd generation American) who plays for the Oakland A's. Gratefully, Tim Kotsay -------Original Message------- From: Elizabeth V Cardinal Date: 07/30/05 07:58:43 To: HUNGARY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: How the other half lives http://www.cis.yale.edu/amstud/inforev/riis/title.html A fellow lister sent me this study and I think you will find it as interesting as I did.
