Bukovina: formerly a part of the Habsburg
Empire, today a part of Romania, it once had a sizeable Hungarian
population in the five villages-Fogadjisten, Istensegíts,
Hadikfalva, Andrásfalva, and Józseffalva-settled
by the few thousand Székelys who fled there from Transylvania
in 1763-64 to avoid being drafted as border guards. In later centuries,
the Székelys left Bukovina in successive waves of emigration,
and settled in various places: along the Lower Danube (aldunai
székelyek), in Bácska, in southwestern Hungary,
in various parts of Transylvania, and in the United States and
Canada. All these group are still referred to as "Bukovina
Székelys".
