I always found it interesting that tribes that squabbled in the old country banned together in the new. I guess the Slovaks and the Hungarians and the Poles found that they had a lot in common with each other when the alternative was Irish or Italians. I've actually been struck in the opposite way. I've looked through a lot of 1900, 1910, and 1920 Census pages and was amazed at how clean the lines of separation were. Czech neighborhoods, separate from Slovak, separate from Hungarian. The mingling started to occur as the immigrants adjusted to America and moved from the lower strata neighborhoods and new immigrants moved into the lower strata. Though there were some neighborhoods that seemed to be locked into one ethnic group. Immigrants, in general, start at the bottom rung. Neighborhoods got a little fuzzier [ethnical] for the 1920 Census, but as you moved back, there were very clear ethnic neighborhoods. Mostly what I've looked at were the Census pages for the greater metropolitan Cleveland area. jttmab
