| michelle: Re: Zelanik, Kastich | | Yes, this information you gave me was very helpful in fine-tuning the history on my grandfather and great grandparents. Thank you very much. I spent a lot of time looking at the Web sites you directed me to, and was surprised to find that th Ellis island Web site immigration records are different than the ones you can access through ancestry.com, so I was able to get additional details. I believe the family came from Miklous vs. Mikleus as Misko listed Belovar on his first immigration record in 1905, which was the county? name at that time (Belovar-Koros) for Gornji Miklous. Also, Miklous is the closer of the two to Zagreb (33 miles), and we had been told of that connection. I hope to get to a library sometime in the next few weeks to look up LDS church records from that town, but as they are recorded in Serbo-Croatian, I may be back posting on this site for further help. There are still many questions and documents that I cannot find (George's naturalization, Rose and Misko's death records and clues to their parents' names, records for the 2-3 times that Misko re-entered Croatia from the U.S., if existing), but with so many different name spellings used, this may take me a while. Thanks again for your help, and please let me know if you have any additional suggestions. |
