Many emigrants changed names after arrival in the U.S. The LDS-Mormons have filmed the R.C. parish registers of births, marriages, and death (1590-1920) for Fiume (I), Modrus-Fiume megye (county), Hungary; now Rijeka, Croatia. Text in Italian and Latin. film # 2099988 => 2099999 2100001 => 2100014 Italian is similar to Latin. Births 1874-1880 are specifically listed on film # 2099998. These microfilm reels are available for rental and viewing at any Family History Center (FHC) worldwide. 90% of patrons are non-Mormons doing surname research.
