Children of the Mirna Valley

Autor Frank Bevc
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2019
In the quiet farmland of southeastern Slovenia the people of the Mirna Valley endured rule by feudal lords and the Habsburg Empire for over a thousand years. In the early 1600Õs, the Bevc Family worked the land in the small village of _entrupert. Three generations and over a hundred years later, their descendants moved to the Debenec hills overlooking the Mirna Valley. The family acquired more land and spread to the nearby towns of Mokronog and Mirna. Economic conditions prompted immigration by almost one-third of the Slovenian people. One Bevc generation, a family of eleven children, found different futures in America or Slovenia. Most traded the green hills and hard work of farming for the harsh life of mining coal in a smoky, industrial town. Each withstood hardships so that their children would have a better life. Many of those children fought in World War II. In Slovenia that meant occupation and Partisan resistance; in America, sons went off to war in Europe and the Pacific.

Notă biografică

Over thirty years of genealogy and family history research has provided a strong foundation for relating the impact of national and global events on families. Frank's family histories provide a unique blend of biographical information and the timeline of history. The stories tell how everyday heroes react to extraordinary events. We hope you find them interesting: Puritans, Patriots and Pioneers explores Colonial and Revolutionary War families and their children and grandchildren's westward migration. Sons of Ardore traces life in a small Italian village, their response to an epidemic and one man's immigration to America. Children of the Mirna Valley tells the story of a ethnic group's resistance to assimilation; and, for one family, eight of eleven children traveling to America in search of a new life while three children remained to experience the ravages of war and the joy of seeing a new country formed. Most recently, On the Frontier tells the founding of New France and conflicts between settlers and the Iroquois as well as one family's evolution through ten generations.
