(H) TURSKA 1957 – HRVTASKA 200?
Turska 1957 Hrvatska 200? Re: NYTimes.com Article: Turkey Abolishes Death Penalty Moj prijatelj i kolega je sa cijelom obitelji otac,majka i stero djece, (najstarija 6.lijecnica bila je udata i ostala je u Zagrebu) odselili su u Tursku 1957.g.Vec u to vrijeme “zaostali” Turci davali su povlastice povratnicima ili vlastitim drzavljanima-(oni su bili rodjeni u Pljevljima) kada su se useljavali u Tursku tako da su im oprostili porez-malim poduzetnicima na 5 godina,a onda neznatno povecali slijedecih 5 god.Dakle Turska je vec onda znala da ce na taj nacin privuci natrag u zemlju male poduzetnike koji ce razviti tamo svoj biznis i unijeti novac koji su zaradili u svijetu.Mi smo puno blesaviji.Jos uvijek treba bezbroj potvrda,oderu te porezom,a da i ne govorim da su ukinuli cak i one povlastice za povratnike koje je dala bivsa Juga.Da ne govorim o tome da se moira potkupiti razne cinovnike i cinovnicice kako bi dali svoj blagoslov kod bilo kakve transakcije.Zalosno ali istinito.

Mary Morgitch Robert u St.Louis,Mo.. Gdja. Robert je majka 11ero dijece.Uvijek je bila aktivna u pomaganju Hrvatske Zupe S. Josip-a u St.Louis-u kao i mnogih drugih dobrotvornih stvari. Ona je uvijek donirala i to radi i dan danas pomagajuci Croatian Scholarship u California te je pomagala i skolovala mnoge decke i djevojke u St.Louis-u Hrvatskog podrietla. Kad je poceo rat u Hrvatskoj ta DIVA Velikog Srca je pomogla mnoge Hrvatice i Hrvate u nevolji,. Koliko se sijecam je darovala pok. Kardinalu Kuharicu $50.000.00, isto toliko Kardinalu Puljicu,Biskupu Komarici mislim $25.000.00 i tako redom. Donirala je lijepe sume novca i za NFCA i CAA, bit cu slobodan i reci da je donirala milione dolara za Humanitarne pomoci i za Hrvate u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini. Ona je danas 83 godine .Jedna njezina kcer, Janet Robert, se natjece za Congress women u Minnesota State. Ovo nam je sad vrlo zgodna prilika, svima nama Hrvatima ili Amerikancima Hrvatskog podrietla, da kazemo VELIKO HVALA Gdji. Mary Robert, da svi pomognemo njezinoj kceri Janet Robert da dobije za Congresswomen. Ujedno bi imali jos jedan glas u Congress-u vise uz George Radanovich i Dennis Kucinich. Sad nam je zgodna prilika da svi koji mozemo poslati Janet Robert novcanu pomoc u bilo kojem iznosu,$5.00-$10.00-$20.00-$50.00-$100.00 i vise pa neka to posalju na njenu dolje prilozenu adresu. Sto nas vise to ucine to bolje. Ne samo iz financijskih razloga negol i iz moralnihrazloga. Dali postoji mogucnost da mi Hrvati toje Amerikanci Hrvatskog Podrijetla , u iducih 10 godina, nadjemo nacina da jos 10 Amerikanaca Hrvatskog podrietla postanu Congressmani. Mislim da bi se i CAA i NFCA morali dobro zamisliti na toj temi. Bilo bi jako unosno da se u svakoj Hrvatskoj koloniji formira po nekoliko osoba koje ce uzeti i probati skupiti novcanu pomoc za Janet Robert. Ja obecajem da cu to uciniti ovdje u Cleveland-u za Janet Robert i Tony Peraica koji se natjece za Cook County Commissioner-a. Sto god skupimo poslat cemo pola-pola za Janet Robert i Tony Peraica.

(E,H) Croatians identified in US 1930 census
National Archives and Records Administration . . . to ensure ready access to essential evidence . . .thatdocuments the rights of American citizens, the actions of federal officials, and the national experience . . . National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) had recently released microfilms containing full data about 1930 census. The microfilms are now available for viewing to the citizens searching for the facts about their ancestors, genealogists researching family trees, and scholars writing emigration history of their co-patriots. Last Sunday I learned from my American friend how he found out that his grandmother was Croatian. Searching through the microfilms for the data about his grandfather he discovered that under the column “The language spoken in your home before coming to America” his grandmother entered “Croatian”. He was elated. From that column ( which did not appear on the forms before or after 1930 census) one can learn not only about the nationality of their ancestors but also about more exact numbers of Croatians who immigrated to the Unites States in large numbers before 1930.This information woud become a valuable documented record since in previous censuses Croatians were registered as nationals of the countries they came from, ie. Austria-Hungary before 1918, and Kingdome of Yugoslavia from 1918-1930. It woud we very commandable for Croatian scholars and interested organizations to undertake the research of those microfilms and publish more accurate history of Croatian immigrants in America. More information about locations of Regional Archives where the microfilms can be viewed, what questions were asked on the 1930 census and how to view, rent or buy the microfilms can be found on the following Website: http://1930census.archives.gov ———————————————– Nedavno je Uprava nacionalne arhive i podataka (NARA) pustila u javnost mikrofilmove s podacima iz popisa stanovnistva SAD obavljenog 1930. godine. Ti podaci su sada dostupni svim gradjanima koji zele proucavati rodoslovlje svojih predaka kao i ustanovama i znanstvenicima u svrhu prikupljanja podataka o povijesti iseljavanja svojih sunarodnjaka. Od jednog americkog prijatelja slucajno sam doznao kako je on iz tog popisa ustanovio da je njegova baka bila Hrvatica. Trazeci podatke o svome djedu, pod njegovim prezimenom i imenog te mjestu boravka pronasao je upitni arak u kojem je izmedju ostalih stajala i rubrika: “Jezik kojim se govorilo u Vasem kucanstvu prije dolaska u Ameriku”. Njegova baka je upisala “hrvatski”, Upravo iz te rubrike o materinskom jeziku (koji se vise ne pojavljuje u kasnijim popisima) moze se nesto vise doznati ne samo o vlastitim precima nego se moze ustanoviti i tocniji broj Hrvata koji su se iselili u Ameriku do 1930. godine. To bi bio jedan dragocijeni podatak koji je do sada bio predmetom nagadjanja obzirom na to da raniji hrvatski iseljenici, koji su se iselili u najvecem broju upravo do 1930. godine, u prijasnjim popisima nisu bili upisani kao “Hrvati” ili da govore “hrvatskim” jezikom nego do 1918. kao podanici Austro-Ugarske, a od 1918. do 1930. kao podanici “Kraljevine Jugoslavije”, tj. drzava iz kojih su dosli. Za nadati se je da ce se naci barem jedan hrvatski znanstvenik ili koja ustanova koji ce iskoristiti ovu jedinstvenu priliku i na osnovu podataka iz ovih mikrofilmova dokumentarno dopuniti povijet hrvatskog iseljenistva u Ameriku. Mikrofilmovi se mogu pogledati u uredima Uprave nacionalne arhive i podataka koji se nalaze u 12 podrucnih mjesta diljem SAD. Poblizi podaci i adrese tih mjesta mogu se doznati na slijedecoj internet adresi: http://1930census.archives.gov pod:NARA locations.

(E) Origins of the Word Croat
Origins ofthe Word Croat an alternative hypothesis: Most texts dealing with the origins of theword Croat, or more specifically the slavic variants of Hrvat or Horvat, seem toaccept the thesis that the term can be traced directly to Persian inscriptionsfrom about 500 BC. This view holds that the name derives from an ancient Iranianpeople living in a region referred to as Harahvatis, which, in modern terms, wassituated in what is now present-day Afghanistan.On the face of it, the seemingsimilarity of the words Harahvatis and Hrvat lends credence to this theory.However, it should be noted that such superficial similarities in form are notnecessarily indicative of a direct linguistic link; especially when the positedcognates (ie supposedly related words) are from different language families, asis the case with the Harahvatis / Hrvat hypothesis. In point of fact, the field of linguisticsis rife with instances of false etymologies. Even in closely related languagessuch as English and German, phonetic similarities can be misleading. Take forexample the word form gift, which exists both in modern English and German. Tothe casual observer these words might seem related. However, the English wordgift actually is derived from the postulated Indo-European root ‘ghebh,’ and iscognate, not with the German word gift (poison), but with the German word geben(to give). Not being familiar with the extent andnature of the specific data which gave rise to the Harahvatis thesis, obviously,I am not able to attempt a categorical analysis of this theory’s viability.However, if, as it appears to be, the primary basis for the Harahvatis theory isphonetic similarity, then I believe serious questions might well be raised.Common sense alone dictates that any phonetic reconstruction of a dead language be taken with agrain of salt. In fact, linguists have long argued over the merits of evenattempting phonetic reconstruction; critics pointing out that the”comparative method” used in historical linguistics should only beascribed to reconstructing phonemic forms without respect to detailed phoneticattributes. Simply put, a phoneme represents a soundin a given language which is linguistically significant. For example, thecontrast between p and b in such English words as pin and bin. Phoneticanalysis, on the other hand, is a detailed description of the physical qualitiesof a sound (ie is it voiced, aspirant, nasal, sibilant, etc). In extinctlanguages we can, at best, only make educated guesses at what the underlying sounds related to theorthography might have been. Therefore, just how similar the forms Harahvatisand Hrvat really are to one and other is not necessarily as close as our modern-day interpretation might lead us to believe. In any case, there isperhaps another possible explanation for the derivation of the term Hrvat, whichavoids some of these uncertainties, and is perhaps more analytically”elegant” in being less removed from recent facts, both in terms oftime and space. The basis of this alternative explanation is to be found in awell established sound change occurring in the Czech and Slovak languages,wherein g becomes h. For example, the word for hunger in modern Croatian (andmost other slavic languages) is ‘glad,’whereas the corresponding Czech andSlovak form is ‘hlad.’ Examples showing that this shift from g to h is aregularly occurring sound change are many and included the following: gavran (raven) > havran glas (voice) > hlas golub (pigeon) > holub grad (city) > hrad griva (mane) > hriva grom (thunder) > hrom jagoda (strawberry) > jahoda knjiga (book) > kniha Along the same lines, the word formountain, gora, has the corresponding form hora. Given the fact that theancestors of modern-day Croats appear to have migrated into the Dinaric rangefrom the central European tablelands (ie modern Slovakia, and Poland) it seems quite plausible that these people maywell have been referred to as something like ‘those who went into the mountains’or “hora,” and thus, by extension, the word “Horvat” (whichis the current slavic form of the word in all but the south slavic languages; withthe “o” apparently having elided into a vocalic r in south slavic) . It has not been my intention in this briefpaper to write an exhaustive argument for the “hora” derivationalexplanation of the word Horvat, but merely to raise the issue as a possiblealternative. Given the inherent difficulties in dealing with extinct languages,as well as the possible complication of ascribing a slavic “corevocabulary” word’s origins to a non-slavic language, it seems the “hora” explanation provides asimpler and more direct derivation. In linguistics, as indeed in mostdisciplines, often times the least complicated solution also proves to be themost accurate.
