Today Bukovina is in an area of Romania that was once part of the Austria until the end of World War I. The region became offical in 1775 when the region was annexed from Moldavia to what became Austria-Hungary in 1867. The population quickly swelled in part to the religious tolerance and relaxed feudal obligations in that area.
Immigrants came to the United States primarily to the Ellis, Kansas; Lewis County, Washington; Naperville, Illinois; and Yuma, Colorado areas.
