I am also searching for someone from Fiume/Rijeka, Mata Sepic, born in Fiume in 1855/1856 and married Margaret Elliott in New South Wales in 1882. He was one of my wife's great-grand-fathers. Unfortunately his marriage certificate doesn't list either bride or groom's parents and I haven't found a naturalisation certificate which could give a clue. That made me think a year ago of trying to see if a Rijeka newspaper could print a little notice saying something like 'any readers know of a long-lost/distant relative, Mata Sepic, who went to Australia?'. I never got very far though as I couldn't get any emails through to what looked like newspaper editorial addresses (from their web-sites). Anyone else tried anything like this? Any successes and if so any email addresses? Can we get an English speaking journalist on a Croatian newspaper or radio station to join this list and publish our queries in Croatia?

I have a strong interest in the town of Rijeka, Croatia as my grandfather, JAKE SCARAVICH, was born in Fiuma, Austria, in 1878. My current request of you is for any suggestions as to whom or what to contact in Rijeka that may be able to assist me with data relating to JAKE SCARAVICH. Names, postal mailing addresses, and, hopefully, e-mail addresses would be most welcomed. Your cooperation and assistance will be greatly appreciated. And, many thanks for your time and efforts.
