- Do you have ancestors from Eastern Europe but don't know which country they came from? Perhaps you have family information or have found records that name multiple countries and you don't know which one is correct. This class, Polish? Austrian? Czech? Making Sense of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, will give a brief overview of which countries were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and walk you through how to narrow down the region your ancestors may have been from, with a case study of what that looks like in real life.

One remark: in Galicia (Austrian part of Empire) there was a huge number of Greek Catholic as well as today. I’d rather say majority of Galician population is GC (today and in the past). In cities and towns there were mostly Roman Catholic, Jews and less Greek Catholic
Excellent presentation Miss Cooper was very articulate and knowledgeable and I learned a lot about looking for Polish ancestors
Hint for the Uploader (FamilySearch) If you upload a video that references "handouts", it is actually beneficial to include download links to these handouts.......
Thank you
Very good study
Where can I find this worksheet you mentioned? I asked about it at RootsTech, but haven't received an answer yet.
Greek Catholic mostly are Galicians!!! Austrian part of Empire! I know it for sure as Galician and lover of genealogy and family history
I have my grandmother's Polish passport but she and her husband and siblings who migrated to the US were Ukrainian. They came over in the 1890's and early 1900's before WWI. I was told she was born in Austria. When I had my DNA done it shows I have DNA from Western Europe and nothing from the Ukraine area. This has been puzzling for me. This will be interesting to see what I can find out.
Durnbach I'm Burgenland
The governance of B-H started in 1908, not in 1867.
... and soon ended by World War I, so not very helpful for records.
So even then
They were separeted
Austria-Hungary was NOT Eastern Europe. It was "MittelEurope" or Central Europe. Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine are Eastern Europe.
A hint for speakers: Do not conflate the terms "Jewish" and "Judaic". Jewish is an ethnicity. Judaic is a religion.
A Jewish person is normally Judaic, however:
A person can be Jewish and Catholic.
A person can be Irish and Judaic.
No a person can not be Catholic and Jewish..one or the other.
@@esterherschkovich6499 no, you are technically incorrect, unless you are understanding "catholic" to be a culture and not a religion. For example, in the church I attend (LDS) the leader of the group (ward) is called a bishop, who in our case was raised in Jewish culture but was not a practicing Jew, as in ever attending a temple. So, he was Jewish but not Judaic. An individual if he or she so chooses can certainly retain Jewish cultural icons, or any other icon that pleases them and still attend a catholic service.
