| pmosteika: Re: Looking for Grandmother and Family - Vlasich | Hello Julia, (This is what I ment topost as a reply)
This is great news!
My great Aunt was Aunt Julia who married John Florsch . I used to visit their farm in Wisconsin, and their daughter, my cousin Nanette would give me rides on her horse. I surprised Nan hasn't mentioned me. I sent her a copy of my Family book years ago, visted her in Wisonsin, and I got to see my Aunt Julia just before she died (after many years).
I am Paul Mosteika from Chicago, now living in New Hampshire, son of Maria Mosteika (Maiden Name - Krayner) and Phil Mosteika who were born in Chicago to Anna Krayner (Maiden Name - Vlasich) and Joseph Krayer. Joseph (I believe) came from Gratz, and Anna emmigrated from Grosswarasdorf, Austria when she was 18 or 19, approximately 1907.
Here is a clip about your great Aunt from my document:
Anna Vlasich was born January 26, 1889 in Grosswarasdorf , Hungary, (now Austria).
Anna came to N.Y. when she was 18, the year would be 1907. Anna died at age 89 in a hospital on the North side of Chicago February 26, 1978. She was laid to rest on March 1st, 1978 at St. Joseph Cemetary in River Grove, Illinois, lot 225 BI. 2, Section V.
Her Death Certificate, State File Number 604911, agrees with Anna’s birthday and date of death, and this also agrees with her birth date listed on the 1920 Census. The signing physician, Luis Mella, M.D., certifies the death on February 26, 1978 at 12:35 a.m. at Augustana Hospital & Health Care Center, 411 W. Dickens, Chicago, Illinois 60614, of acute congestive heart failure and arteriosclerotic heart disease. The congestive heart disease is listed as ‘ interval between onset and death,’ two weeks. While the arteriosclerotic heart disease is listed as her having it for years. Other interesting facts listed are:
· Origin or Descent - Croation
· Social Security number 326-30-0407
· Citizen of U.S.A.
· Residence 4835 W. Winnemac Chicago, Illinois
· Father - Lawrence Walsich
· Mother - Rosalee Valsich
And... another clip:
Rosalia and Lorenz (Lawrence) Vlasich (Maria’s Maternal Grandparents)
Anna’s Mother Rosalia, (maiden name Behoff [1]), married Lawrence (Lorenz) Vlasich of Grosswarasdorf, Austria. My notes are lacking details.
Rosalia Behoff died 1916 [2], according to notes from their daughter Julia, (my original note said 1902, but it was scratched out). Another note simply indicates “Chicago.” But this could not apply to Rosalia or Lawrence, because they lived their whole life in Grosswarsdorf, Austria. Apparently this Chicago note applies to John Behoff, Rosalia’s brother.
Lorenz Vlasich lived with his wife Rosalia in Grosswarasdorf 63, Grosswarasdorf, Austria. That house was the same house that Anna and Julia were born in. The house was originally owned by Behof (Behofsich), and Lorenz was the first Vlasich to live there, according to notes from our visit in August 2000.
[1] This spelling is from notes from my mother. It differs from the records provided by the Grosswarasdorf church, January 2001.
[2] Note that this date was reconciled later to be 1914, from a Grosswarasdorf chuch record.
I also met Viktoria, seen the house where your Grandmother Aunt Julia (and my Gram - Anna) were born, met the family and received some old church records. I will gladly share all I have.
You seem to have some facts that I don't know. For example,
" a sister marta- brother rudolph her fathers second marriage "
But they confuse me. Also, Bermen was probaby Bremen. Note that Viktoria and Johann Vlasich had three children (I met Rudi and his wife Elizabeth before they died):
Johann and Victoria have three children: sons Stephen (oldest) and Rudolph (2nd child), and a daughter Irma. They also had three other children that died at a very early age. Johann and Victoria lived there at Grosswarasdorf 63, (the same house Anna Vlasich lived in).
But, we can share much more information. Please contact me, dropping the "_gene" portion of my mail address. I can send you a Word document. Nanette also knows my mail address at work.
Thanks,
Paul
