Hello Peg, In my last message I mentioned Hobodna Wlast (as I read it) from the ship manifest. This is German sounding to me. Since my last post I checked the old 1910 maps (which you will find in my link list) and have found what may be that "strange town" in column 10 and 11. If you go to the link below, then click on Vercoe county (this may take some time to load, but they are great maps with lots of detail inc. villages and topography). Then set your bottom browser bar to the center and the side bar all the way to the bottom you will see Trnava (and Andrijevdiolnyi, where the phone listing is from) and Slobodnavlast in the hills up and to the left just below Levanska Varos. The sp on the manifest got me chuckling as I thought of an octopus! But I believe these are your places http://www.familytree.hu/ Robert Jerin Croatian Heritage Museum Cleveland, Ohio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret B.

Thanks Robert! Wow, these two posts took my breath away!!! It may seem a small step to the list but a giant leap for Bukovic genealogy! You're a star! Peg PS Too bad my grandmother is long at her reward or I'd ask her about any octopus tendencies on the part of my grandfather. :-) > From: "Robert Jerin" <rjerin@adelphia.net> > Reply-To: CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 08:09:18 -0500 > To: CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [CROATIA-L] Bukovic from an unknown town > Resent-From: CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 06:09:37 -0700 > > Hello Peg, > > In my last message I mentioned Hobodna Wlast (as I read it) from the ship > manifest.
