Subscriptions, Submissions, Advertising, Reprints ======================================================= Bound for Australia By Di Cummings in Melbourne, Australia In 2001 I began researching my mother's side of the family, and found that several families immigrated to South Australia. Discovering what ship they came on, and what the voyage was like, proved to be rather difficult -- especially as I don't have access to the research data held "over there." Given that our pockets are not majorly blessed with lots of cash, I was surprised and pleased when my hubby said I could go to South Australia for a week. Then followed much planning and calls for help and advise. Getting to SAust took a whole day by train, and accommodations cost a lot too, as did the photocopying when I finally reached my destination. I discovered that the newspapers of the day sent a "shipping" reporter down to each ship to record who was on the ship and if anything significant happened on the voyage. Slowly and surely I found my people. I rang home excited, to share the news, and was asked to "check a couple more names and a couple more and a couple more, oh and it could be spelt this way or that way or that way, and we don't know what year." My pile of passenger lists grew and grew. It occurred to me that maybe to create a list of "all the people who arrived in one year" might be an interesting thing to do. This grew and grew. I soon realised I should learn how to write webpages, to share my discoveries. I made arrange- ments with RootsWeb to host my family tree, plus some pages [about 2,500 webpages of them] -- all relating to passengers coming South Australia -- showing who came on which boat and when. This is when an old song began creeping into my head -- Bound for South Australia -- and so my shipping pages "got their name." In October 2005 I launched a CD entitled "Bound for South Australia -- passengers arriving from 1836 to 1851." The CD contains more than 3,000 passenger lists (1836-1851) covering about 60,000 families, plus about 30 ship diaries and more than 200 photos of the early pioneers. And then my family said "no more!" Being such a nice person, I knew I couldn't ignore pleas for help -- and so the project advances a year at a time. Should you need help finding when your families came to South Australia, visit my website. My e-mail address is at the bottom of each page. Remember to include who, when, and the ship name (if you know it). Please limit your requests to ONE PER PERSON, per month. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dicummings/Images/Ships/BoundForSouthAustralia.htm * * * REPRINTS.

I am researching the name BIANCHI in CAVTAT. I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to obtain a birth certificate of my Great Grandfather LUKA KRISTOV BIANCHI while I am in Cavtat, Croatia or how I may start the process of obtaining one while I am there? Thank you very much, Denise

Hello List, I believe my great grandfather Paulo DAMIANOVICH/DAMJANOVIC was born in Zaton, August 1834. I have been trying to find out more about this town/village, but have come up with 3 Zaton's in Croatia - Zaton (Zadar); Zaton (ibenik) and Zaton (Dubrovnik). I have looked at the link to the 1910 Map of Croatia that Robert posted. http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/200e/36-43.jpg and have located Malfi (Zaton). Could anyone help me with any ideas as to which Zaton I should be interested in, given the time of Paulo's birth. Thank you in anticipation, Estelle (in Australia) _________________________________________________________________ realestate.com.au: the biggest address in property http://ninemsn.realestate.com.au
Thank you Patty. I really appreciate your offer. For two years I have collected data to make this trip and I have a big binder now with my family correspondence and all the tips that this list has given to me. I recently acquired more family date just before I am making this trip which makes it even more fun. I also learned of a way to apply for dual citizenship and for those living around San Jose California, there will be a Croatian Festival this Sunday and the consulate general office will be there to help people apply for dual citizenship. I have a letter from there stating what documents one must have to prove they are Croatian. If anyone is interested, please write and I will forward the letter on to you.

Hello List, I am interested in the town of Zaton in Croatia as the birthplace of my great grandfather - Paulo DAMIANOVICH/DAMJANOVIC in August 1834. I have found three references to Zaton. viz. Zaton (Zadar); Zaton (ibenik) and Zaton (Dubrovnik). I have found the town of Malfi (Zaton) on Robert's link to the 1910 Map of Croatia. http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/200e/36-43.jpg but I cannot identify which Zaton I would need.

Hi Estelle, DAMJANOVIC is listed in the phone book in that town which is in Dubrovnik County NAME TOWN ADDRESS PHONE Damjanoviæ Made Zaton, Vrbica 8 (+385) 20 891 829 Damjanoviæ Nevenka Zaton, Za Kaæelom 9 (+385) 20 891 082 Damjanoviæ Nevenka Zaton, Za Kaæelom 9 (+385) 20 891 364 There are 5 places called Zaton including Zaton Doli 20231, Zaton Obrovaèki 23450 But the only Zaton showing any DAMJANOVIC listings in the phone book is the one you found near Dubrovnik.

I have been trying to find out more about this town/village, but have come up with 3 Zaton's in Croatia - Zaton (Zadar); Zaton (ibenik) and Zaton (Dubrovnik). I have looked at the link to the 1910 Map of Croatia that Robert posted. http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/200e/36-43.jpg and have located Malfi (Zaton). Could anyone help me with any ideas as to which Zaton I should be interested in, given the time of Paulo's birth. Thank you in anticipation, Estelle (in Australia) _________________________________________________________________ realestate.com.au: the biggest address in property http://ninemsn.realestate.com.au ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CROATIA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Follow the link below to my October 2006 tour of Croatia http://www.kollander-travel.com/
Denise, Sorry, my family is from Karlobag, Krasno, and the Zumberak area. I haven't been able to look at films for many months, but I plan on starting again in Sept. I keep a list of the names that people on this list are researching, so if I run across one, I can write down the info to let them know. I will keep an eye out for yours! I am very envious of your trip to Croatia, my husband and I plan on going when our youngest goes to college (she is a junior in high school). Take care and have a wonderful trip!

If we want to share other surnames, perhaps we can write off list? Thank you for writing. I wish I could sit by the side of someone who has used the films. It will be a while before I can order them again and I will also wait until my return from Cavtat to see what I need at that point. Thank you, Denise In a message dated 8/22/2006 11:03:10 A.M.

I understood that Ragusavecchia is the old name for Dubrovnik.

Those church records are in Italian, Latin and Croatian for the Cavtat Roman Catholic Church. The old Italian name for Cavtat was Ragusavecchia, which appears on the 1910 Austrian miltary maps which are found online (also the Croatian name Cavtat appears next to the Italian name. Robert DPRSjacksn@aol.com wrote: The more I am interviewing family here in California about my great grandfather from Cavtat, Croatia, the more I am hearing about him speaking fluent Italian. He was born in Cavtat October 5, 1875 and came to America at about age 16. His original Croatian name was Bjele, later changed to the Italalianicized Bianchi while still living in Croatia. When he came to the US, he changed it to Biele and later his Portuguese wife from the Azores Americanized it to Beal! Can someone please comment on the fact that he spoke fluent Italian?
