Previch,

What you know about your ancestor? PREVICH is most likely an Americanized version of PREVICS, PREVIC^.
What was language spoken by your ancestor?
12 PREVICSs thru Ellis Island.

previch: Re: Prevics

Yes, I do know that 'Previch' is the Americanized form of the name. The family Bible that I have, has a few spellings. I will have to look into them and the origin.

Your welcome.
Locate your ancestor's place of birth and you are on your way. Check in LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) site for church records.

previch: Re: Prevics

I know that my family was largely Catholic. How open will people be to helping me once I get there?

You mean the volunteers at Family History Center Library? Did not have any experience but not hearing anything bad. They will help as much as they know. As long as you can decipher priest's handwriting, you should have no trouble.
You can check out www.bmi.net/jjaso for church header wording.

Marcy Prevics: Re: Prevics

My grandparens came from Austria and Hungry. They were Martin and Mary Prevics. They did not purposely change their name to Previch. In fact, in the early records of my father's siblings they were all listed as Prevics. Only the last child, Mary, was listed as Previch. Although my father, Martin (Jr.) passed Feb. 15, 2008, I still use the name Prevics. I believe that I am the only one is Oregon.
