It can be .assumed with some certainty that people die in the same numbers and witb the same<br />
ethnic distribution as they had lived. A very careful and exact survey was made of the Catholic<br />
Holy Cross Cemetery of San Francisco from 1920 to 1930 with the recording of all burials of<br />
individuals registered as Roumanian, Albanian, Galician, Bohemian, Czechoslovak, Croatian,<br />
Slovenian, Serbian, 'Slavonian', Jugoslavian, Dalmatian and Austrian. It is understood that this<br />
survey would not include the Jewish, Moslem and Protestant minority as represented in the<br />
Austro-Hungarian Empire. The majority of the named above were part of Austria prior to<br />
World War I. With the formation of new nations after World War I, it has never been accurately<br />
determined as to what true ethnic distribution existed or does exist. Rough approximations<br />
and census statistics have been distorted by the simple fact that many South-Slavs, Czechs and<br />
Slovaks continued to report as Austrian because they did in fact come from<br />
'Old Austria'; where as Jugoslavia Czechoslovakia were formed after their<br />
people came to America. It is hoped that the following survey of 1920-1930<br />
will at least establish an approximation of ethnic distribution for the San<br />
Francisco Bay Area, one of the first large Slavic settlements in America, and<br />
convince those in doubt that the CROATIAN DALMATIAN was in the<br />
majority of all Catholic groups represented by old Austria and other Balkan<br />
Areas.<br />
