Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—a Popular Destination for Immigrants from Semlak

Upon arrival in America, there seemed to be a preference of immigrants from Semlak for certain communities in America. It appears that their favored community was Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.   One has only to look at manifests on the www.ellisislandrecords.org site to see how the Semlakers, for the most part, stuck together. What follows is just a small sampling of their arrivals.
