Kóka Rozália’ series: On History’s Path – diaries, letters, memories. This writing begins with Rozália’s short summary of the history of the Bukovina Székely Hungarians from 1764 – 1777. After the 1764 massacre in the Transylvanian village of Mádéfalva/Siculeni, some 8000 Székely Hungarians fled to Moldavia, from there in 1776-1777 many families went on to Bukovina and established 5 villages. All of these places are situated in today’s Romania. Here, Bőte Péter (born 1899 Istensegíts/Ţibeni, Bukovina) tells the story as he heard it, of how his village of Istensegíts was founded in 1776-77. Then Gáspár Simon Antal (born 1895. Istensegíts, Bukovina) tells the story as he heard it from the old folks - of how the village of Andrásfalva/Măneuți was founded. As told to Kóka Rozália in 1969 and 1972 respectively.
