A Jesuit priest, Father Ferdinand Benoit Marie Guislain Helias d’Huddeghem1 came to the United States in 1833. He lived successively in Georgetown, White Marsh, Conewago, Pa. (1834-1835. In 1835 he went to St. Louis in Missouri by the Alleghenies, Pittsburgh and Louisville. He was the first Catholic priest to visit, in 1838, the German settlements in Central Missouri along the Osage river. Soon after his arrival, he laid out the town of Westphalia around a new log church that he dedicated to St. Joseph. He was also the first Belgian to settle in the area. In 1840 he bought ten acres of land in Cole County from the Harr family and built a log church dedicated to Saint Francis Xavier. Soon a village, which was first named Haarville, for Henry and Gertrude Haar, the first settlers, grew around the church. But after some soldiers who had fought in the Battle of Taos and Sacramento, came back from the war with Mexico, the town was forever referred to as Taos. Two other institutions which Father Helias occupied himself became Richfountain (1842) on the Gasconade and Looscreek (1843), near Linn, Osage County. Father Helias d'Huddeghem Each year, Father Helias visited eleven counties: Franklin, Gasconade, Osage, Cole, Moniteau, Cooper, Warren, Montgomery, Callaway, Boone and Howard. In 1844 the building of a more permanent church made of stone was started, which was dedicated the following year. Father Helias' mother in Belgium paid for most of the cost of its construction2. In late 1846, he moved to Harrville, near Jefferson City, and the village became the center of main Catholic colonies. The second Belgian to visit Harrville was Auguste-Gabriel Van Der Straeten-Ponthoz born Ponthoz near Clavier, Liege December 14, 1813. A diplomat, he was first secretary of the Belgian Legation in Washington. He was sent on a voyage of exploration to the United States to study the possibilities of emigration, and expansion of trade with Belgium. The report he made in 1845 was published under the title: Research on the situation of immigrants to the United States of North America. He described Harrville as follows: « This village, founded by forty families from German provinces, is the center of a town of 400 immigrants from the same country. The situation is six miles of Lisleton. There is no bilious fever as a rule. The houses are better than in other places in Missouri.

  • Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin
    Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin Kazimierz J Zaniewski Presentation for the History Sandwiched In lecture series sponsored by the Wisconsin Historical Museum August 13, 2013 At the time of European discovery and colonization of North America, there were about four million Native Americans in what is now the United States. The trans-Atlantic slave trade, practiced for three centuries prior to the early 1800s, had brought over 470 thousand Africans to this country. Since our independence, we have admitted over 78 million immigrants, originally mainly from Europe, later from Asia and Latin America. Consequently, the United States (a nation of immigrants) has become a mosaic of races and cultures, and this great human and cultural diversity is visible in almost every part of America, including Wisconsin. This presentation on ethnic diversity in our state will be divided into three parts. The first part will focus on diversity in terms of race and Hispanic origin of Wisconsin’s population. The second part will examine diversity among the white population, predominantly of European origin, in terms of ancestry. In both parts, emphasis will be put on immigration history and geographic distribution of major racial and ethnic groups in Wisconsin. The last part of the presentation will be devoted to the discussion of selected outcomes of ethnic diversity in our state. Racial and Hispanic Origin Groups According to the 2010 census data, over 16% of Wisconsin’s population (almost 950 thousand) belongs to one of several racial/ethnic minority groups. African Americans (350 thousand) comprise the largest minority group in our state; the Hispanic or Latino population (336 thousand) forms the second largest group.

    Determinants of Ethnic Retention As See Through Walloon Immigrants to Wisconsin By Jacqueline Lee Tinkler Presented to the Faculty of Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2019 Copyright © by JACQUELINE LEE TINKLER All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to express my gratitude to Kenyon Zimmer who firs supported this research idea as head of my Thesis Committee. When I decided to continue my research into the Walloon immigrants and develop the topic into a Dissertation project, he again agreed to head the committee. His stimulating questions challenged me to dig deeper and also to broaden the context. I also want to thank David Narrett and Steven Reinhardt for reading the ongoing work and offering suggestions. I am also deeply indebted to the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Arlington for the financial support which enabled me to make research trips to Wisconsin. Debora Anderson archivist at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, and her staff were an invaluable help in locating material. Janice Zmrazek, at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction in Madison, was a great help in locating records there. And I want to give special thanks to Mary Jane Herber, archivist at the Brown County Library in Green Bay, who was a great help in my work. I made several research trips to Wisconsin and I was privileged to be able to work among the Walloons living in the settlement area.

    Belgian Laces Volume 14 #53 December 1992 Belgian Laces Vol14 #53 Dear Members, The end of the year is approaching rapidly in Belgium and in most of Europe, the children are anxiously looking forward to December 6, when St Nicolas will come with gifts for the good children and the “martinet” (whip) for the bad ones. There will also be plenty of speculoos and massepain oranges and apples. Just thinking of the expectations, the fears and joys make us long for the holiday atmosphere of “the old country”. Then come the family reunions of Christmas, the joys of being together and sharing the blessings of the holidays. The New Year too brings special traditions, where the chi1dren will read their specially prepared “New Years Letters”: one for the parents, one for the grandparents and one for their godparents, who each will give them a few francs or a special present The children have worked hard on these letters, wilting them using their most beautiful handwriting and vocabulary! New Year too is the time for resolutions, decisions and promises. Decisions… promises… we asked you last year to help us raise the number of our membership to 400. We are delighted to let you know that we gave membership number to the last subscriber. Thanks and congratulations to you all! We want to do even better for 1993 and hope to reach or pass the 500 mark by the end of the year. With your continuous support, we should be able to do just that.

    ESTABLISHING AN ETHNIC COLLECTION IN A SMALL INSTITUTION DOROTHY L. HEINRICH How does an institution with a limited staff establish an ethnic collection? Using our Belgian-American Ethnic Resource Collection as an example, I will explain how we at the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay (UWGB) became involved and carried out the project. We are a small institution. Our university has about 3,000 students and at the time we began thinking about establishing a collection I was working one-half time in the Area Research Center. The Center is a cooperative project of the University and the State Historical Society of Wisconsin to collect local and regional archival materials. Another person also worked eight hours per week in the Center. The idea for the collection originated at the Midwest Archives Con- ference meeting in Saint Paul in November, 1974, when Dr. Rudolph Vecoli of the Center for Immigration Studies at the University of Min- nesota spoke to the group. As an example he used the Italian- Americans who seem to be attracted to radical movements. Dr. Vecoli feels that in order to understand why a particular nationality reacts in a given way in certain instances you must see them as whole human beings, not just as statistics in an industrial labor force. As I sat and listened to Dr. Vecoli, I thought immediately of the Belgian settlement in Brown, Door, and Kewaunee Counties in North- eastern Wisconsin. In this area these people are often referred to as the "Dumbbelgians" (one word). They also are the subject of the ethnic 42 THE MIDWESTERN ARCHIVIST Vol.

  • Ken Fones-Wolf
    "Industrial Restructuring and the Transnational Movements of Workers: The View from a Century Ago" Ken Fones-Wolf Much of the scholarly interest in both the impact of globalization and the development of transnational spaces has focused on the last third of the 20th century. In particular, the concern over deindustrialization in the northern "rust belt" has overshadowed the long history of manufacturing relocation caused by industrial restructuring. Moreover, the massive migrations of proletarians in the early and the late 20th century has tended to obscure the transnational migrations of workers for specific industrial occupations. What I propose to do in this paper is to examine the global restructuring of the glass industry that occurred at the end of the 19th century and its impact on the transnational migrations of skilled Belgian, French, German and English glassworkers as well as its impact on the communities they created. This paper will also suggest some parallels from other industries to suggest that this process is not new to the late 20th century. Transnational perspectives are now becoming essential to contextualizing American history. Of course, in the fields of economic and immigration history this has long been the case, even if different words were used. World systems and internal colonial models alerted scholars of economic development to the global structure of their studies and immigration historians, beginning in the 1920s studied labor migrations in a trans-atlantic framework.1 Thus, this paper will explore the global context of industrial restructuring in the late 19th century. I will also argue that exploring specific industries and the composition of their workforces gives us a more complex picture of the proletarian mass migrations, different from those studies that have focused on movements 1 from the peripheries to the cores of the Atlantic economies from 1880 to 1920.
