SHORT REVIEW ON CZECH COLONIZATION ON THE TERRITORY OF WESTERN SLAVONIA AND NORTHWESTERN CROATIA
Vjenceslav Herout
Sažetak
The colonization of the Czechs in Croatian territories is mentioned in several works, especially those that took place during the 19th century. It was first studied mainly by researchers from the Czech Republic, while domestic researchers began to deal with it only in the second half of the 20th century. In more recent works, we find mostly already collected data from previously published works, there are few that have
deepened previous knowledge from some other sources. Yet what they published broadened the horizons of the local readership on the issue of Czech colonization. It is possible to read about it and the Czech contribution to the Croatian economy and some segments of culture in many records. However, to this day, much remains unanswered. So far, no synthesis has been published, a unified display, which would contain precise data on where individual families came from, so recently unverified and inaccurate records have appeared. Czech researchers from the Austro-Hungarian period did not deal too much with this issue, except for generalized data obtained in contact with immigrant Czech families. And they had a problem realizing that many descendants of immigrant families no longer knew where their ancestors came from, especially if they came in the first half of the 19th century, and they have not preserved written evidence of this. Equally, the causes of migration are different, sometimes incomplete, and those recorded were collected by Czech researchers by visiting local immigrants without checking them in the areas from which they immigrated. This work will not give answers to all these questions either, but it will be a good guide for all those who will want to deal with this question, but for an even smaller space than in this title. More is expected from many young researchers from the Czech Republic who still research such questions in Croatia, but sometimes bypass some of their archives that hide as yet unknown material that relates to the issue of Czech colonization in Croatia.
