MID CONTINENTAL STATES CHAPTER Founded: 1996 Looking for a president for this
chapter. Summary: SE Kansas is populated by Germans, Italians, Belgians, the French, Irish, and those of the former Yugoslavia. The region was mainly a coal mining area, and the results of strip mining can be seen today. The biggest cultural event of the year is known as "Little Balkans Day, a day of fun for all with polka bands, food, beer, friends, and family. South Central Kansas has a distinctive Germanic flavor. The Wichita Public Library has a wonderful genealogy department, supplemented by the local LDS, Midwest Historical Society and other area societies. One of the best libraries for research is on the campus of Wichita State University. Vital statistic records are best located in the county of origin. The state Department of Health has few records prior to July 1911. "Early Slovenians in Missouri" "Early Slovenians in Oklahoma" Translated from Rev. J. M. Trunk's History |
