I have been researching any Hecimovic who came to the US from the area of Perusic, Kosa, Bukovac, Gospic, Konjsko Brdo. At least 50 from this area came through Ellis Island and even more through Baltimore. A detailed study of the ship's manifests at Ellis Island shows close relations to many other passengers of other surnames on the same ship and in both Croatia and their destinations in the US. >From what I am seeing in the manifests, people didn't just make the voyage with one or two relatives but large chunks of clans came together. One page of a manifest may have 30 names but there could have been 60 pages for that voyage. Relations seem to have stayed close together and this is represented in their location on the manifest. I always study the previous and next pages to the original search page in order to find the rest of the family. A cross reference of all passenger names, relations, destination addresses and sponsors between these three pages can show a relation or connection to 15 or so other passengers. If your research involves family from the same area then I would like to compare surname lists with you. Doug
