Czechoslovakian immigrants usually bring immediate family members and personal belongings with them to America.
There are several things that an immigrant would bring to remind them of their homeland. Some of them include photos, cultural artefacts and other minerals that are found in their homeland.
bible
Memories, family photos - black and white.
Your great grandparent would be the immigrant. Their child (your grandparent) would be American born, so they would be 1st generation American. Their child (your parent) would be American born and 2nd generation. So you would be 3rd generation American. However, if your immigrant great grandparent arrived in America as a adult with children, as many did, then your grandparent might also be an immigrant and you would be the second generation born in America.
It depends on what country the immigrant was previously from. Ex: Greek. They would bring currency, something to remember their country, (Ex: Athena Doll) something to eat during their voyage, (Ex: Grapes, wine, olive oil, olives, etc.) something to remind you of your family (depending on the time period, maybe a picture or an object that had been passed down through the centuries) and things that would be useful in America during that time period.

what ever money they had, which was not very much. if they had any family heirloom, that was small enough to carry they would probably try to bring it. if they had one they brought a bible. those who had them brought instruments. they would have probably sold off most of their possessions before leaving their country.

At that period of time, an immigrant was able travel to a country, but he/she may not have enough money to bring the rest of the family. Babies, wives, and siblings would have to stay behind in cases where they cannot support themselves, and neither can the immigrant, the family would be separated for the rest of their lives. Sometimes, boats could not carry enough people for a whole family to come to America.
