Your response to our newsletter is simply overwhelming. Thank you, thank you ... Your encouraging words make it all worthwhile. As you can see, there has been a healthy increase in member contributions to Belgian Laces. After increasing our publication from 16 to 18 pages the last few issues. we now increased it to 20 pages, filled with all kinds of information! We hope this trend of member-contributions will continue and inspire more of you to sit down and write something that can be of interest to all. We welcome also the invitation from the West Virginia Society to participate in their “Belgian Picnic” on July 25 in Clarksburg, WVA. (see article by René Zabeau). I’m sure some of our members will take you up on this, René! - Wish we could come too! The theme of this newsletter was going to be especially travel oriented, with feature articles about Belgian cities .. but we ran out of space for some of the planned articles We made sure to include information about Belgium’s Cities of Special Interest, knowing that the August issue would come too late to be of assistance to our travelers. When you are in Belgium, or anywhere in Europe for that matter, always look for the Tourist Information booths in the airports, railroad stations, or downtown. They are easily recognized by the big dotted “I”. For your information also, Sabena Belgian World Airlines. Air France, Airinter (the biggest domestic French airline) and CSA (the Czech airline) offer the new EuroFlyer Pass. offering coupons good for intra-European flights on any of the four lines at the set price of $ 120 per flight. A real good deal! Besides that one. I have here in front of me an advertisement from American Airlines, announcing an air and land package for an unbelievable price: Brussels All-Inclusive Air and Land Special $809.-per person, double occupancy. This all-inclusive air and land package includes round-trip airfare, two nights accommodations at the Sheraton Brussels City Center, buffet breakfast daily, champagne welcome drink. Belgian welcome gift, hotel service charges and taxes, option to add extra nights with one free for each night paid, seven days use of a Hertz-economy car with unlimited mileage including tax. Call today for this incredible package. Don’t forget to ask about our Fly/Drive hotel programs to make your stay in Belgium complete! Call American Today at 1-800-321-2121 So far for the advertisement. I don’t know from what airport this special departed. I suppose it was Chicago, because it was submitted by a member from that area. (Thank you, Patty! ). The offer will certainly be off by the time you read this , but if you plan a trip this year, it may well be worth your while to contact American Airlines to see if part of this would still be valid. Good Luck! From now on we will start publication of our membership lists. In this issue, please find the new members, that have signed up since January 1993. Space permitting, I will start working on the complete list spread over several issues, but will keep up with a “Welcome New Members” column for sure. I hope that this will be satisfactory. Another “constant” to Belgian Laces, will be a systematic listing of Passenger Lists starting in 1842 . This valuable contribution is the result of a combined effort from our members Micheline Gaudette and Howard Thomas. Thank you both! We wish you all a good summer, filled with joy and sunshine, interesting,trips around the country or abroad and “good hunting” in your genealogical search! Table of Contents 19.

Belgian Laces Vol15 #55 ANTWERPEN ‘93 Cultural Capital of Europe “Antwerp, a great city of the Renaissance, is using its year in Europe’s cultural spotlight, to make a statement about art’s role in confronting xenophobia, racism, and war”. Under this title, The Christian Science Monitor (March 17) dedicates its center pages to Antwerpen and its role as Cultural Capital of Europe for 1993. The European Community (EC) has had a cultural capital every year since 1985. when Greek Culture Minister Melina Mercouri came up with the idea and Athens inaugurated the project. It was followed by Florence, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Glasgow. Dublin and Madrid. and now it is Antwerpen’s turn to take the spotlight. The entire city center has been refurbished for the occasion and will act as the main back-drop for an unprecedented frenzy of cultural activity. The Magazine of the Flemish Community Flanders announces that Antwerpen has prepared an extensive arts program. Between April and December, theater, dance and opera performances, exhibitions, concerts. films, lectures and workshops will follow one another in quick succession. In addition to the arts program, scores of festivities and open-air activities are planned. To name but a few: at the Royal Museum a large scale Jacob Jordaens exhibition will run until June 27th. Two exhibitions will focus on Peter Paul Rubens. - As world center of the diamond trade. Antwerpen ‘93 also offers several diamond exhibitions, culminating in “Uit de Schatkamer” (from The Treasure Chest) , a collection of world famous jewels and gems. Afloat on the river Scheldt from April on, the ARKwilI certainly be a striking presence. This 77-meter-long push tow barge has been converted into a floating theater for an audience of 200, with salons where artists can stay and a café-restaurant in a turret that resembles a lighthouse. Antwerpen 93 has invited fourteen major international cities to allow their young talent to represent them on the ARK. Each foreign group will live and work on the boat for one week. So far groups will be coming from Los Angelos, Marseilles, St. Petersburg, Prague and Barcelona. - The Antwerpen 93 bulletin contains pages of information about all the events, dates. locations and prices, plus details on how to order tickets from abroad.

  • 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
    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. The more we are the more we can help each other.
