I set up a board for anyone who is researching the history of the Grubisic family or would like to exchange messages with others in the family. It's at Rootsweb, a free site administered by Ancestry.com. If you are used to using Rootsweb.com, our family board ought to be listed under 'surnames' and then as 'Grubisic'. If you'd like to read the first message posted to our board, I think you can click on the hot link below. If it doesn't work, paste the address into your browser window. Hoping to hear from you, cousin Ashley http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=admin.message&r=rw&p=surnames.grubisic&m=1 http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=admin.message&r=rw&p=surnames.grubisic&m=1 Search: Grubisic Board Boards > Surnames > Grubisic Grubisic Grubisic family in northern Croatia Author: Ashley Tiwara Date: 14 Oct 2001 1:54 AM GMT Surnames: GRUBISIC, PETROVIC, BLAZEVIC, TOMIC, KAUZLARIC, CERNICH, KRUZIC, KUCHAN, and about 70 more collateral lineages Classification: Query George GRUBISIC married Matilda PETROVIC in the town of Mrkopalj, near Riejeka, Croatia, back in 1906. They came to America separately, in 1907 and 1909. George had two brothers, Lawrence and Jack, and two sisters, Johanna and Angelina, in the midwest, but Matilda had only a cousin, Palona, in Illinois, of their large, extended families. Other family members emigrated to Canada, to Argentina, and to Australia, and maintained some contact with home. Would anyone reading this know of more relatives, perhaps in New Zealand, or in other parts of the world? Please post to the board if you are researching this family too, or suspect a relationship.
