As You Bend The Twig, So Grows The Tree, Borge M. Christensen
As You Bend The Twig, So Grows The Tree, Borge M. Christensen
The Bridge
"Left to go to America," teacher Johannes Frederik
Christensen wrote opposite Sophie Pauline Christine
Pedersen in the June, 1884 Kindertofte village school's attendance
and examination class register. For Sophie, daughter of
laborer P. Christian Pedersen, as for the other 1,261 emigrants
under sixteen that left Denmark in 1884 with their families,1
her first meeting with education would greatly contribute to
any success in the new country. The Danish school system
and the village teacher would cast long shadows.

The Bridge
I never tire of hearing stories about Danish immigrants coming to America in the 1800' s. Their courage fills me with admiration because few of them would ever see their homeland or families again. My own great-grandparents Jens and Kristine Bagge arrived in June of 1863. Kristine died a few years later leaving five small children behind. We know she was lonely for Denmark.

Father, Otto Christensen, was born in 1875 on a farm
that lay on the edge of the North Sea in Jutland, Denmark.
When he was four his mother died and his father remarried.
He spent his childhood tending sheep and cattle and playing
in the sand dunes and heather along the sea. He must have
spent much time dreaming his dreams.

Switzerland And Burgundy In The Late Middle Ages, H. Dwight Page
Switzerland And Burgundy In The Late Middle Ages, H. Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In the late Middle Ages Switzerland's principal rival was the Duchy of Burgundy. Although the medieval Kingdom of Burgundy has long since vanished, in the fifteenth century Burgundy was one of the most powerful states of Europe.2Its territories included present day Belgium, Holland, the French provinces of Flanders, Alsace, Lorraine, Franche-Comte, Savoy and Burgundy, as well as the three Swiss cantons of Geneva, the Vaud and the Valais. For nearly two millennia, these territories of the old Kingdom of Burgundy have been among the most progressive in Europe. The "loi gombette" of the ancient Burgundians was the most humane of …

Book Review: The Germanic Warrior Clubs, H. Dwight Page
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Scholarship concerning the migrations of the Germanic tribes and their assimilation into the Roman Empire has been divided for centuries into essentially two schools of thought: the writings of medieval British, French and Italian authors and the historians of the French Enlightenment, such as Montesquieu and Voltaire, who perceived the Germanic migrations as destructive and malicious invasions of the Roman world; the writings of nineteenth and twentieth century German scholar-apologists, who have sought to justify the Germanic migrations by stressing that these movements were necessitated by the pressure exerted upon the Germanic tribes by the westward progressing Huns and by …

President Karl J. Niederer called the meeting to order at 10: 10 a.m. The members were greeted by the Swiss honorary consul, Franz Portmann, who invited them to visit the Swiss consulate between 6th and 7th Streets, time permitting. Next Eric Pumroy, director of the Balch Institute of Ethnic Studies, welcomed those present and reminded them that this was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Institute. He noted that the Swiss were in on the Institute's ground-breaking in 1972 and the SAHS records are housed there, as well as those of the Swiss Benevolent Society of New York. He also mentioned …
A Final Visit To The Land Of My Birth Baselland, Switzerland June 1994, Ernest Albert Thurkauf
A Final Visit To The Land Of My Birth Baselland, Switzerland June 1994, Ernest Albert Thurkauf
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Mother was exiled 30 years in America -- so I spent 30 days in Liestal, one for every year she was isolated and banished! My mind was constantly on such thoughts as I daily walked the streets of Liestal. Tired as I was, I never reached the point of exhaustion such as she did - - especially when she walked behind the harrows with a four-horse team [One Small Lifetime, page 79.] My 30 days for her 30 years was poor compensation for a devoted mother who almost died to bring me into the world! [One Small Lifetime, bottom of …

Entering The United States Excerpted From One Small Lifetime, Ernest Albert Thurkauf
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In the autumn of 1923, father left for the States. Mother and the four children remained on the farm. Father had to get himself established somewhere. I (age sixteen) was now the man of the house. Mother and I learned to butcher a cow; we sold some young stock and raised pigs and chickens. We somehow made enough to exist. Winter was now coming on, and about every two weeks ma and I had to go to town through the ice and snow -- and occasionally blizzards.

When a mother with four small children travelled to America, the eldest of which was barely over seven, and the youngest was still hanging on her back -- it was indeed a daring endeavor. It would have been worthy of mention even in peacetime.

A Return Visit To The Land Of My Youth Alberta, Canada, Ernest Albert Thurkauf
A Return Visit To The Land Of My Youth Alberta, Canada, Ernest Albert Thurkauf
Swiss American Historical Society Review
In my old years, I often had the urge to revisit the scenes of my youthful days in Alberta, Canada. Florence, my beloved wife, and I had hoped to do it together, but because of her failing health and serious strokes, it was never to be. After her passing in 1985, I purchased a new auto with intentions of_ making a North-Western journey alone. But after numerous trips -- up to North Carolina and New York State -- in the two years after her death, I began to have serious misgivings about a long journey alone. My two sisters, as …
History Of The Kieburtz/Kyburz Family, R. Bruce Kieburtz
History Of The Kieburtz/Kyburz Family, R. Bruce Kieburtz
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The origins of the Kieburtz family are found in Switzerland, Canton Aargau, in the town of Oberentfelden. According to the Familien-Namenbuch der Schweiz, a set of books that list family names who possessed rights in a Swiss community as of 1962, the Kieburtz family, historically spelled Kyburz, had citizenship rights prior to 1800 (that qualifies it as an old family) in the towns of Erlinsbach, Oberentfelden, Suhr, Unterkulm, and Niedererlinsbach. The name, and citizenship, has diffused therefrom to at least six other cantons and eleven towns in Switzerland, and the name has migrated to an unknown number of foreign …

In 1971 Walter Lips, a specialist in agriculture, was invited by the US Department of Agriculture to visit some 20 farms in the United States. In that context he made numerous contacts with people of Swiss descent and became interested in their history. In 1990, Walter Lips published the article "Die thurgauische Auswanderung nach den USA," Thurgauer Beitrage zur Geschichte 127 (1990) which explored the 1855 to 1862 migration of Swiss of the Amriswil and Sommeri region who had converted to the Mormon faith. In his recent study he followed the trail of the Sprungers whom he found in …

Annotated Bibliography Of Resources For Researching Danish-American Folklife, Gregory Hansen
The Bridge
Danish-American folklife consists of the expressions of
traditional culture that identify Americans of Danish heritage
as belonging to this small ethnic group.
Encompassing a full range of expressive behavior, ranging
from building and decorating immigrant homes to crafting
intricate patterns with knitting needles, scissors, hammer
and anvil, Danish-American folklife includes any form of
knowledge or skill that is learned by observation or imitation
within a community context (Hansen 1988:23)
