ANDERSON, Dorothy
eMail: dota@turbonet.com

My great-grandparents were born near Semic, (Slovenia-Austria) probably in some small village. GGrandf. was Michael IVETZ / IVATZ--Americanized to EVITS. He was born about 1837; served for 9 years in Austrian Army--was still in army in 1866. Gr.grandmother born about 6 August 1847--probably from same village. Her maiden name was KAMBIC/KAMBITSCH. How can I possibly find records to document what little I know. They did not read or write English. Nothing was written about their pre-U.S. early lives. They were married in U.S. on 20 November 1876 in Idaho Territory. I have marriage record, homestead and citizenship record of Michael. It states he was born in "Austria". Would appreciate any help in researching this family.

I am doing research on my IVEZ / IVERZ and KAMBITZH / KAMBITSH families who were from Omota. I want to know what type of village Omota is; How do people earn a living; also why are there 3-4 or more variations on the spelling of the name in the same village. I recently had several rolls of microfilm of Slovenian Records for the "Gottschee" area. I would be willing to share information about these if anyone is interested. I am interested in exchanging information with anyone having the names IVETZ / IVEZ and KAMBIZH in their ancestral tree in Slovenia. Thanks.


BABUDER, Pam
eMail: PB070685@aol.com

I am searching for ancestors of August BABUDER (Materija, Slovenia) Died 1995-97.
Thank you.


BITERMAN, Aaron
eMail: JewishCo1@aol.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am attempting to find information on my family who emigrated from Austria c.1911. The mother originally came from Slovenia, and went to Austria (Steirmark province) for an unknown reason. Here is what a brief family tree looks line on my Slovenian line, and then stemming into Austria and Wisconsin. Descendants of Ignatz Vehovar:

1. Ignatz Vehovar b: in Slovenia
... +Antonia (unknown surname) b: in Slovenia m: in Slovenia
......... 2. Antonia Vehovar b: 25 Nov. 1885 in Pekre, Slovenia; d: 25 Jun. 1956 in Milwaukee, WI
............. +Joseph Marsel b: 21 Feb. 1887 in Austria d: 1926 in WI
......... 2. Josephine Vehovar b: 1893 in Pekre, Slovenia; d: 1929 in Milwaukee, WI
............. + (unknown) Salatnik
......... 2. Christina Vehovar b: in Pekre, Slovenia
............. + (unknwon) Vidic

Most of the above is oral family tradition passed down from my great-grandmother. I am hoping that somewhere, somehow, I can find out about these people -- not only their names and dates (which are vital!) -- but also their personalities, reasons for emigrating, and occupations. I believe the village was Pekre, Slovenia, near Lubljana, Slovenia. Again, this is oral tradition; not from record sources. I believe my family came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My female ances tor, Antonia Vehovar (Marsel) was a tavern owner, I believe. She owned a hotel, as well, I believe. She invited many homeless and underpaid poverty people to come to her hotel, and fed them, etc. The family was Roman Catholic. Thanks.


CASTLEFORD, John
eMail: cti@leicester.ac.uk or jcastleford@netscape.net
(Roman Catholic)

I seek information about Joseph (?Josip) POJE, born c. Feb 1901, possibly in Prose (?) in what was then Austria. A Roman Catholic with associations in or near Lubljiana, he was a widower whose father was believed to be Abraham and mother Maria. He was a civil servant who was forced to work in Germany during WWII . During WWI he may have been in the Jugoslav Cavalry. He left Jugoslavia in c. 1948 for England. Any information or leads gratefully received. Thanks.


CORDEAU, Elizabeth
Vancouver, BC, Canada
eMail: ecordeau@direct.ca

I am searching the families: ANZELC (ANZELJC), KRASOVEC and PATERNAST. My mother is Franciska (Frances) ANZELC, born in Gora, Slovenia on 25 May 1927. Her father was Franz ANZELC, born in Studenec on 24 March 1904. His parents were Janz Anzelc and Ursula PATERNAST, whose birthdates I do not know. Her mother was Paulina KRASOVEC, born in Gora on 2 May 1905. Paulina's father was Fortuenet KRASOVEC. My mother and grandmother sailed to Canada aboard the "Ausonia II" in 1934. I understand that my grandfather Janz lived and worked in Denver, Colorado, and Cleveland, Ohio, and that we have several relatives in the Cleveland area. We don't have too much information other than that. Can anyone provide any information on any of these people, or their ancestors? Many thanks.


CUK, Susan
eMail: scuk@magiclantern.ca

Trying to find relatives with the last name of ROZMAN. My mother's first name was Sylvia. She was born in Maribor in 1934 and immigrated to Canada in 1957.

GLAVACH, Steven
eMail: sglavach@inil.com

I am searching for information on the GLAVACH family. My great grandfather Andrew GLAVACH and his brother Joseph GLAVACH came to the United States around 1906. Andrew Glavach was born 27 November 1889 in we believe Crensovci, Slovenia. I am trying to determine any information on Andrew, his parents, and his siblings. I am also looking for any information relating to his voyage to America (Ship Name, Port, etc...) We have some unverified information that his father was John GLAVAC' and his mother was Marija CULIC'. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


GORUP, Albert
eMail: gorup@aol.com

ANTON GORJUP (GORUP, GORYUP) Looking for information on Anton GORJUP, born 15 October 1888. Died 25 February 1970. Declaration of Intention says he immigrated from JMEJCA, STEREN, AUSTRIA on July, 1910. He married Mary ROSENBERGER on 11 January 1919. On his marriage licence, Anton claims that his father & mother are Anton GORJUP and Mary PRESKOVE. Mary's father & mother are Urh ROSENBERGER and Francesca SUSTARICH.

Anton spent his entire life in the U.S. in Calumet, Michigan. Mary was born in the U.S. Family lore has it that Anton, Urh, and Francesca come from the same town. Family lore has it that my grandfather Anton only socialized with the other Slovenians in Calumet, so I was hoping that a query in a Slovenian site would generate the response I'm looking for. The 1920 Census has Anton claiming to be from Yugoslavia and his native tongue is Slovene. Same census has Urh claiming to be from Austria and native tongue is Slovanian. Family lore has it that Anton has (at least) 7 borthers, and his father had (at least) 7 brothers. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any of Anton's bothers. It was rumored that Anton immigrated with a brother that stayed in Milwaukee, but I have been unable to verify his
existance. Thanks in advance for any insight.

My interest is in locating the birth records of Rosa BOLDISCHAR and Louis Paul ALT. She is supposed to have been born on 28 August 1858 in Vienna. Her parents are said to be Joseph BOLDISCHAR and Rosa CZERNY. I have no documentation to confirm this family information. Rosa BOLDISCHAR left Austria abt. 1900 arriving through I believe New York.

My Grandfather's name was John PRELAS - (PRELOZ listed on SS card). SS#282-03-5520. It seems ther are no records of his arriving in Ohio or being buried.

They had two children Mary (my mother) & Ivana. They moved to Cleveland, Ohio (Collinwood). He died on 8 August 1949 in Cleveland. He work at the Collinwood Brick Yards.
