Czech descent?

We say that his father immigrated from Czechoslovakia before Berger's 1898 birth, but that state did not exist. Nor was it one region of Austria-Hungary; indeed it was split between the Austrian and Hungarian kingdoms. I added one parenthetical link to our coverage of TCH in A-H.[1]

Berger is a German surname, or German Jewish. Category:American people of Czech descent excludes the Slovakia territory but it's inclusive otherwise, not limited to ethnic Czechs. But we should be more specific if we can (diffuse that category). Perhaps that (subscription required) NYT obit is our source, and provides more information to put him in the Bohemia or Moravia subcat or perhaps one of their German subsubcats, eg American people of German Bohemian descent.

I have changed this to say Berger was the son of a Czech immigrant, since Czechoslovakia did not exist at that time. -- Visuanthi (talk) 15:31, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have started a Bibliography section:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 05:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
