Catholic Encyclopedia: ITALIANS IN THE UNITED STATES http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.newadvent.org/cathen/08202a.htm This is Google's cache of www.newadvent.org/cathen/08202a.htm. It was retrieved on Fri, 11 Feb 2000 06:30:33 GMT. Google's cache is the snapshot that we took of a page as we crawled the web. Since the year 1880, when Italian immigration to America began to assume its present enormous proportions, the problems arising out of it have become extremely grave for both the Italian and the United States Governments. At first, owing to the great density of the population of Italy — 257 to the square mile in 1881, and 294 to the square mile in 1901 — this movement of the surplusage was regarded in the mother country as a great relief. Now, however, both agricultural labourers and those available for building and manufacturers having become scarce, in proportion to the larger demands of a growing industrial and commercial activity, the Italian Government has become seriously alarmed at this continued drain upon the population. Laws have been enacted, or are being prepared, ostensibly for the protection of the emigrants, but in reality to preserve for Italy the fruit of the labour of her children. It is true that many millions of dollars are sent to Italy every year by the Italians residing in America, but this sum, which is placed by some authorities at as high a figure as sixty millions, hardly repays Italy for the loss she sustains, first in having nurtured and partly educated hundreds of thousands of men who have afterwards given their labour to a nation to which they cost nothing; second, in losing a great part of the industrial production which she might have had, and which, considering the difference in the standards of living and of wages, would have amounted to an immense sum for Italy. As a compensation for these losses Italy receives back a certain number of immigrants who, after having lived abroad for a number of years, return to their country with what appears there to be a little fortune. It is natural that this should be regarded with favour in Italy. ........ and more on the cached site URL [use the www.google.com cache URL] ITALIANS IN THE HUDSON VALLEY By Christine Scivolette Page designed byLauren Guerrero, Hafsa Ahmad, and Tim McCann "Passion, pasta, and power." http://www.academic.marist.edu/ssp97/italian.htm ITALIAN IMMIGRATION INTO CANADA http://www2.excite.sfu.ca/pgm/depress/ethnic/italian/immig.html Italian Immigration Memo to: My great-great-grandfather From: L.M.

Interestingly, however, an estimated 30 to 50 percent of these immigrants eventually returned to their homeland. Nevertheless, Italians constitute the second largest immigrant group during the period since 1820. Although the first wave of Italian immigrants in the early nineteenth century settled primarily in Louisiana, subsequent generations of immigrants settled in New York and other large northern cities. A Viva Voce (Word of Mouth) http://www.italian-american.com/wwii.htm When Italy declared war on the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Italian residents in the USA as well as much of the Italian-American community were suspected , by the Roosevelt Administration, of having questionable loyalty. Executive Order 9066, signed by President Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 not only allowed the military to evict and intern Japanese- Americans but applied as well to German- and Italian-Americans. Chicago Heights, IL http://www5.palmnet.net/~mpagoria/heights.htm Jobs attracted Italians to Chicago Heights Sunday, March 28, 1999 By Dominic Candeloro In 1979, I discovered a real gold mine of information about Chicago Heights' Italian immigration in the files of the Chicago Heights Public Library. Executive Librarian Barbara Paul had heroically managed to save from destruction the citizenship records of the local courts. My study of 1,448 applications for citizenship filed by Italians in Chicago Heights between 1907 and 1954 reveals that the earliest Italians who came to Chicago Heights arrived in the 1890s, with the majority arriving between 1900 and 1914. ITALIANS IN UTAH http://eddy.media.utah.edu/medsol/UCME/i/ITALIANS.html Italian Lodge parade, Bingham, 1909 Italian immigration was one of the largest influxes of southern and eastern European groups into Utah. While some Protestant Waldensians from northern Italy had immigrated in the 1870s after being converted by the Mormon missionary program, the bulk of Italians came to Utah during the period from the 1890s to the 1920s in response to demands for unskilled labor in the mining and railroad industries. Italians came primarily from the regions of Piemonte, Veneto (Tyroleans), Abruzzi, Lazio (Romans), Calabria, and Sicilia. Immigrants mainly were attracted to four counties, Carbon, Salt Lake, Tooele, and Weber. Coal mining, metal mining, work in mills, smelters, and refineries, railroading, farming and ranching, and involvement in service-related industries and businesses provided livelihoods for these immigrants. ..... and for those who wish to pursue the topic, including numerous message board discussions, http://www.google.com/search?q=Italian+immigration+&start=0&sa=N Suz G

I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding the names of townships and districts from the US Census records of Webster County, WV in 1860 & 1870? In 1860 there was a township/district called Sandrum in 1870 the only ones were Holly, Glades and Forklick. By 1870 was Sandrum considered another county maybe? I found some relatives on the 1860 census in Sandrum and can not find them on the 1870 Webster Co. Census or any of the other families that lived nearby. Can anyone shed some light for me? Thank you, Faith blount@digital.net

Hi: This doesn't add much to anyone's knowledge of Tygerts Valley but the name is rather unusual and we had a family by the name of Tygert in Danville, Yell County, Arkansas.

Hello all, Below is a look-up I received that tells about the SUGAR GROVE CHURCH in Monongalia,WV The look-up was for my PETER FOGLE b.1799 PA w.ANNARAH DENT b.1803 m.12-30-1822 in Monongalia,Wv If anyone has access to the below mentioned reference books I would really appreciate a look-up. Annarah Dent`s parents were John Dent and Margaret Evans. Anything would help. Sue Fogle/Sisk Hitti@ecr.net Dear Sue Fogel, In looking for a different name for the Morgantown lookups (From Strength to Strength), I found a reference to your Peter Fogel. This on page 114 of that book. A church known as the "Sugar Grove Church" a Presbyterian church was built in Monongalia County, W. Va. on Dent's Run (in your earlier note your ancestors were Dent and Fogel). One of the subscribers to the construction of this church was Peter Fogel, who was one of three individuals leading the effort. The other two were Matthew Lough and Waitman Flemming. The document was dated 1 March 1849. The church was also called Stewart's Run. There is a name in the charter of the subscription stating that the location of the church was near Meadows Run on land owned by Andrew Lough and Felix Scott. As of 1935 the Sugar Run Presbyterian church was still active according to the book. You may find some good family records associated with that church. One other excellent resource to look for in a larger genealogy library is the series of books "Old and New Monongalia" that gives an excellent overview of the county. They have these books indexed, unlike this present book. The 1849 document lists about thirty or so names of other subscribers. I do hope that this helps. I just stumbled onto it and noticed the name Fogel. Good luck in your search and let me know if you hit any more information on your family. Sincerely, Tom Devon Longview, Tx.
