The research is based on: letters of peasants who emigrated to Brazil and the USA from the years 1890–1891, letters published in “Gazeta Świąteczna” [The Holiday Gazette] published in Warsaw since 1881, peasants’ diaries, and ethnography data collected in the Kingdom of Poland at the turn of the 20th century.
