My Croatian grandparents were Emery Michael Stoken (15 Oct 1881) and Frances Galinac Stoken (?/?/1884). According to the 1920 census, Frances came to America in 1902. An ink mark covers the year Emery arrived in America. Family history, what little I've learned, has them both coming from the same village but not knowing each other until they met on the way to America. They married in November of 1903 in Fayette County, Uniontown Pennsylvania. According to his Social Security Application in 1936, Emery was born in Jaska or Jasko, Austria Hungary. His parents were listed as Matthew Stoken & Katherine (no last name). According to the children's baptism certificates after 1904, both were from Vivodina on some and Jaskovo on others. In church baptism records of the children Stoken is also spelled Stokan. I've not been able to find Emery Stoken or Frances Galinac in the Ellis Island web site. Emery does not sound like a Croatian first name. I did find Frances Galinac's brother Joseph Galinac (5 Jan 1887) in the Ellis Island records. He's listed as Josip Galinac, age 16, arriving May 12, 1903, from Jaska, Austria-Croatian. He was in route to his sister Francisco Galinac in the Uniontown Pennsylvania area. Joseph's Social Security application listed his parents as Joseph & Katherine Popovic or Popovich. Joseph's first wife was Bara (Barbara) Doljac who he married in 1906. She was from Vivodina also. Her parents were listed as George Doljac & Catherine Pecanich. What should be my next step with the information I have? Vivodina & Jaska must be close to each other?
