Liechtenstein is the sixth smallest country of Europe, after the Vatican City, Monaco, and San Marino. Its population is primarily ethnic Alemannic, although a third of its resident population are foreign nationals, primarily German speakers from the '''Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, and the Swiss Confederation, other Swiss, Italians, and Turks'''. Nationals are referred to by the plural: Liechtensteiners.<ref name="lie">"Demographics of Liechtenstein", in Wikipedia, https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Liechtenstein_Emigration_and_Immigration&action=editm accessed 13 June 2021.</ref> | |||

The first Liechtensteiner emigrants of which we have record emigrated in United States in the early 1830s. However, first great wave of Liechtensteiner emigrants arrived to the United States on April 7, 1851, settling in New Orleans; and in 1852 another group emigrated to Dubuque, Iowa (including stonemasons, bricklayers and carpenters). Eventually, many of the Liechtensteiner emigrants to Dubuque left that city and got farms nearby. However, the Liechtensteiner emigration was markedly reduced during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Later, when the construction of railroads began "tying the country together and opening up the West", other Liechtensteiners emigrated to United States to work in the construction of railroads. | The first Liechtensteiner emigrants of which we have record emigrated in United States in the early 1830s.
