Macedonians arriving at Ellis Island, NY, USA early 20th century!

Many Macedonians fled from the turmoil and fighting ravaging their native land to seek refuge in the United Sates of America.
They first set foot on Ellis Island, New York.

Here are 10 ship manifestos showing the Macedonians. The year of arrival is 1905.

I will continue to post ship manifestos in this thread, stay tuned.

Enjoy!

The "New Immigration"


In 1890, the third and last great wave of European immigration to America began. Derisively labelled "new immigrants" to distinguish them from earlier Northern European immigrants, six million Catholics, Jews, and Orthodox Christians from Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East entered the United States over the next 30 years. Most Orthodox Christians in North America are descended from one or more of these Albanian, Arab, Belarussian, Bulgarian, Cossack, Estonian, Georgian, Greek, Greek Catholic (Uniate), Gypsy, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, or Ukrainian "new immigrants.

The CPP began officially in Canada in Toronto, Ontario, on 5 January 1930 in the Macedonian Hall.
Croatian and Macedonian immigrants, because of the similar positions that their respective compatriots had within Yugoslavia, established good and friendly relations. Both groups oposed the regime in Yugolsavia in particular because it suppressed their civil liberties in their respective homelands. Soon after the party was founded formally in Canada, local chapters began to appear in locales with sizable numbers of Croatian immigrants.

Beginnings of the
Ukrainian Settlement
in Toronto, 1903-14

In 1908 John A. Kolesnikoff, a native of Kherson, southern Ukraine, was hired by the Baptist Home Mission Board for missionary work among Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Bulgarians and Macedonians. He opened three missions in Toronto-one at 426 King Street East, where he resided with his family and where the main activities took place, the second at 10 1/2 Alice Street, which was later moved to Elizabeth Street and then to York Street, and the third was opened in 1913 on Dundas Street in West Toronto. The last two were for Ukrainians, Poles and Russians and, beside the regular Bible readings, offered reading-rooms with various publications and evening courses in English and native languages.

[Risto the Great]

Isn't it abundantly clear that Macedonians have been around much longer than Tito can take credit for. I find these kinds of threads have achieved this purpose many times over and have a cumulative effect that is making less and less of an impact now.

The argument for a Greek identity if infinitely more difficult than the Macedonian one. You can be a Greek if you are part of the Orthodox church, you speak any one of a number of languages, you have diverse customs which are abandoned at some time in your history and sometimes rely on a "feeling". Not very objective at all. Let those former cultural identities prove their Greekness by confirming their cultural practices from over 100 years ago. What have THEY given up to become Greeks? It is almost a pre-requisite to give up something to be a modern Greek. If they were more honest about the modern Greek identity, it would be far more palatable to hear their dribble.

[Daskalot]

the message is quite clear to anyone except our Greek friends, Macedonians exist.
