& Mentor
Keeping the
Danube Swabian legacy alive! |
Henry was born in Kitchener,
Ontario, Canada, son of Swabian
immigrants from Hungary.
Henry has been a DVHH contributor for
many
years and he brings with him an
unmistakable love for what he is doing
for the Danube Swabian. Being fluent in English
and German, he has translated and
contributed numerous historical articles
for us to benefit and learn from. Henry served on the former DVHH
Administration Team, and
currently serves on the DVHH
Editorial Committee, in
addition to his role as
Swabian Turkey
Coordinator, where he shares his
knowledge and expertise, but he provides us
with much more.
Henry has been very generous
with his time and contributions to the
DVHH, which generations
to come
will enjoy and appreciate.
Thank you Henry!

The Settlement of
Swabian Turkey The Early
Colonization of Swabian Turkey - In the "Travel Regulations" the following stipulation was made: "the previously mentioned Swabians along with their wives and children...are not allowed to step on dry land on their entire journey or try to remain somewhere after passing by the Royal residential city of Vienna but travel on directly to Hungary. The Settlement Policies at the Time of the Great Swabian
Migration - At this point in time, the first and earliest phase of the Danube Swabian colonization effort was overwhelmingly focussed on the private estates and domains of the nobles in Hungary and had a rather random and sporadic character. Claudius Florimundus Count Mercy
& the Hӧgyész Domains By Josef Hoben
(18-1900's) Where Did the Settlers in Hogyész Come From? by Josef Hoben A Portrait of the Settlement of the Hogyész Domain - The documents associated with the Domains and Estates identifies some special designations like "old homestead", "old village", "older village site", "old meadows," and "old gardens."
The Farm Homestead and Agricultural Pursuits - At the time of settlement each family received a "Einschreibbüchel" (a regulation booklet) that guaranteed the possessor a house lot, garden and yard as well as a stated amount of land that would be apportioned to him. Next: The
Structure of the Village The Structure of the Village - The social structure of a village is not only determined by the social classes represented in its inhabitants but also through familial ties and neighbourly connections. The Development of the Hogyész Domain in the 18th and 19th Centuries

At
first
glance
it
might
appear
that
the
history
of
the
Danube
Swabians
is
of
interest
only
to
those
who
share
their
identity
or
have
an
interest
in
ethnic
studies,
but
Children
of
the
Danube
tells
the
universal
story
of
humankind’s
spiritual
quest
for
community.
This
is
story
as
much
as
it
is
history.
This
storytelling
is
unique,
as
it
follows
the
fortunes
of
four
families
meeting
their
destiny
and
fate
as
Danube
Swabians
through
the
centuries.
