Lisa: Re: Tonkovich
My husband is named Andrew Tonkovich.

His grandfather (Louis Tonkovich) came from the town of coastal Bribir in what is now Croatia, sometime, I think, in the 1920s. He immigrated to Montana and worked in the smelters, was a union organizer and unsucessfully ran for Congress.

We are still in contact with the family there, wonderful folks.

I don't know if this helps you. I don't have dates at hand.

mjbuza: Re: Tonkovich
My Aunt was a Tonkovich before she married my Uncle Frank Juresich. She had a brother named William, Frank, and her father's name was Frank. If I remember correctly, my aunt was born in the Iron Mt. area of Michigan and then the family moved to Great Falls, Montana. I am sure that they were Croatian. Her mother's name was Anna.
