Membership in Družba sv. Mohorja (The Society of St. Hermagoras) in the United States to the Year 1900



Družba sv. Mohorja has played an important role among Slovene emigrants, particularly as a cultural and language link with the homeland. Membership by Slovene emigrants is also a measure of Slovene presence in the new homeland. The paper shows, in number and place, the expansion of membership in družba sv. Mohorja among Slovene emigrants to the USA up too year 1900. The article Slovenes in the Calendar of Družba sv. Mohorja by the priest Franc Šušteršič from the Sv. Jože Parish in Joliet is also briefly presented.
