Istro-Romanians in Croatia
http://www.istroromanian.net/
The Province of Burgenland, Austria, was formed from parts of the Hungarian
counties (Megye) of Vas, Sopron and Moson following WWI. While it is Austria's
youngest province, it can claim to be one of the oldest. It has a fascinating
history worthy of being studied in detail. The population comprises people of
mainly Germanic, Croatian and Hungarian descent.

The next two links are to sites about White Croatia, in ancient times white
signified north and red south thus the red and white checkered Croatian Coat of
Arms. This area is in present day Poland, including Krakow, and was populated by
White Croatians as early as the 1st century AD. At one time this was a part of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was called Galicia.
