Austrian Slovaks were a minotiry group residing in Austria. Over the centuries many Slovaks immigrated to Austria. During the late 19th and 20th centuries many immigrated into Vienna and Lower Austria without ever assimilating in Austria.

The Kurtz family lived at 428 W RR St, Mahanoy City, PA in the basement. (1910 Mahanoy City Census Ward #1 Part #1).
