Now, now don't get your blood pressure up! Nope Tatjana, it is just about our loyalty to one another! That may be difficult for some to understand today with the PC notion that if it feels good do it, and if it inconviences you ... get rid of it! :) oh and I do most of the grocery shopping these days, which I enjoy along with cooking! God's gift to women.....my wife will be the only one who ever knows whether is is true or not this :) Of course not! Some days she likes me and some days she hates me... but we never stop our love and commitment to one another... and that is reality and the way it ought to be! But thanks to the PC movement many live in a dream world, where they are looking for something that does not exist doing as they will and d-mn everyone else and then some believe they are victims of everyone and everything throws at them ... thus they feel compelled to blame others for their lot in life... abortion or anything else included. To those folks I wi! ll say stop it, live in the real world and be accountable for you and your actions. My ranting is done, we know how others here view things and how I and a couple of others view things... now lets get back to genealogy.. I will if others do! In regards to schooling... the majority of Croatian immigrants, based on manifest records and the historical fact that the Habsburg Empire required 4 years of schooling for all children Robert [email protected] wrote: Robert you seem to be a God's gift to a woman lucky enough to have you around. Not questioning your veracity though, when do you then find time for your passion of history and genealogy? And to Ashley: Not all immigrants came from places lacking schools. US was quite enriched by the arrival of many, many Fuzinarci and Fuzinarke. And Fuzine, or Fuzina as called by its natives, celebrated several years ago the 200years of their school. To Karen: yes as Robert mentioned for many others, they came from Fuzina joining their brothers, friends and cousins. Tatjana Interested in visting Croatia?
