FAMILIAL HISTORY OF FAMILY KAPRAL is dedicated to birth of grandchild Yarema The protracted one of first economic recession in Europe that passed modern economic experts out of eyeshot. Recession begins in the agrarian states. The capitalist relations in France, Germany, Britain and Austria - Hungary develop by very slow rates. The accepted laws about requisition of earths for debts result in mass emigration in Ireland. In this period from Europe also there was emigration, but she yet did not gained such mass character from time of big Asiatic migration of peoples. A New World passes to new rates of development of capital. Large capital building, industry begins in the United States; an economy needs a plenty of hands. The economy of Canada in large part relies on British Crown develops by some more slow rates. A 1906 year was approached, year of the first mass emigration on the American continent. Galicia on this time was component the Austria - Hungary empire. The geographical location gave the imprint on economic relations and development of industry. Boykiland is part of Galicia. It is the ethnic-cultural group of Ukrainian-rousin peoples, which in sort yet itself to the large Ukrainian peoples. If somebody asked boykiman who he is, heard in reply - rousin. On Ukrainian spaces of union in sole peoples happened after disintegration of pedigree social way of life and union of tribes of rousichiv, poulyan, louzan, drevlyan, siveryan, oulichiv, tivertsiv; the names is result from the names of localities. Unlike the mountain population Ukrainians often named itself podolyanami that lived in the low-laying areas of middle Dnestr. Boykis compact live in Overhead - Dnestr’s Bescid. The historian and ethnographers-researchers to this time cannot account for the name boyki and from it resembles. Interesting there is in local names the names with old Ukrainian pronunciation sometimes there are successively the accordant стр-, стрв-. Such pronunciation to this time remained at Croats which disobeyed to Svyatoslav - conqueror and passed through Carpathians in other lands. On beginning of 1900-years the residence in Carpathian Mountains was represented on the economic life of boykis. Weak development of forestry, poor agricultural earths, not developed trades, only the cattle breeding on small mountain fields leads that boykis do not own the considerable material states. In 1906 large emigration touches Galicia. Big and small groups of boykis, many families begin to emigrate from Austria - Hungary on earnings. Boyki’s houses was the frame from the wood dried up, is sometimes covered by tree-board, podolyani mostly covered her by a straw with high and steep roofs. Boykis built houses in

low-laying areas nearer the rivers and mountain streams. They worked on the fields in low-laying areas, the cattle walked on meadows. To lead large herds there was no possibility a forest covered all mountains. Ivan Kapral with sons Grygori, Nick the brothers Vasyl’ and Ilko ride to America on earnings. At a home there was a wife Anastasiya with a son Ivan; Ivan was near ten years.

A village Large Soushitsya is stretched out along a mountain stream right influx of river Strv’yag between two leas of Carpathians spines on eight kilometres and a word Large is adopted. Peasants mainly rear rye, wheat and oat for cattle. On Carpathian earths the harvests of wheat were not large, it was enough only to feed family; and in family was five, six sometimes more children. Tailings of corn targeted at natural exchange on salt, linen and other economic necessities.

Through Austria, Switzerland, almost all Europe to ports of Germany, Holland, traveled to the United States. United States to this time named America. Family Kachmarek, Kapral, Kravets’, Fornal’, Tretyak, Shandrovich drives out to Cleveland, mainly men. In the north states were built and came alive the cities Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland. The gradual getting up of new capitalist relations begins; United States necessary strong hands. Most people, earning some sum, return home. In Europe the protracted recession results in the decision of First World War. Not managing to decided the economic problems in war many countries of Europe: Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Russia. The small countries not having military power and become the victims of imperial militaristic ambitions. The second wave of emigration was on 1911 – 1913 years. Because war part of people does not returned home. In the United States there was Grygory and Mykola the sons of Ivan, Ivan’s brothers Vasyliy and Illya. Illya is married with Rosalia Fornal, Grigoriy gets married in the United States and all of them lived in Cleveland. In Galicia to the Austrian army a lot of young adult boys are taken away. Ivan Kapral son Ivan and from a village Lyatsko now Solyanovatka Mihaylo Vozny son Semen was taken away. Ivan was adopted in sanitary part hospital-train that transported wound-mans from Italian front to Striy, Kolomyia and other Galician cities. Mihaylo was taken away in parts of gunners on western front and between Alps in a valley Po gets in rounding. Mihaylo on two years in captivity to Italians. The First World War ended Brest union and Versailles agreement. Austrian empire disintegrated, in Europe new countries get up. Schooled by fights Galician warriors get organized in Sichovi Shooters and Ukrainian Galician Army. Ivan Kapral goes to Sichovi Shichovi. For Ukraine not long to militate, near Striy Sichovi Shooters was defeated. Poland becomes on the obstacle of Ukrainian independence, France sends an army Geller to strangle Galicia. Russia in any way cannot satisfy the imperial ambitions, on proclamation of free Ukraine sends to Kiev the masses of killers under the command Moravyov. Galicia gets on ten years, to determination, under Polish “pacifications”. Italy organizes camps from captive Galician warriors on the coast of Adriatic, dresses, old warriors spoke – gives a full-dress uniform. And them somewhere near one hundred thousand ready to ride by ships to Ukraine, already the ships stood on a raid. All countries return to home the captive, nobody to return away Galician. Polish ambassadors become on the obstacle of organization the Ukrainian army, for one night of all disarm and send on Italy on works. Mihaylo Vozny with a comrade is “sold” in slavery to Sicily on two years, where he from a reed does baskets for an owner. Owner sold baskets at the market of Italy. On my question: – grandfather, how there was in captivity in Italy? A grandfather Mihaylo smiled, speaking: – so as on a resort. Hostess of the Italian businessman producer of baskets for agricultural necessities was found in the foot of Etna on Sicily. A reed was collected, pricked on four parts and braided baskets. Worked in the morning and after dinner, in the daytime timeout because there was a large heat. An owner fed and dressed, except for a meal on a day gave the liter of wine and two keel of orange. A grandfather Mihaylo told: – to us was barely sufficient and in the first night we climbed to the owner in a garden bitter orange and overheated. An owner after has laughed some days. Did not do on Sunday we went to the church. Grandfather thought a bit and spoke: – once we climbed on Etna. We looked, looked it and decided to look what it are a smoke. We went on Sunday early when no work and somewhere under evening climbed under a top. But not was to go because sulphur stank strongly. Came back in night because was already darkly and long road while found an owner house.
