Yes, I was born in Youngstown Oh, and all my grandparents ended up there....one grandfather worked in the steel mills, the other was a gardener (had been a farmer in Croatia). All lived on the north side of town, attended St. Peter & Paul Church (run with an iron hand by Fr. Stepanovich). Many are at Calvary Cemetery. Most of those homes are now part of St. Eliz. Hospital, where I and all my siblings were born. Research: Gazic' (from coast north of Zadar) Klincic', Hogac', Pokopic', and a few more from just NW of Zagreb (Brdovec, Laduc', Zapresic') and my great mystery, Beric' from somewhere in Croatia

Is it possible that this church might have marriage records from the 1910 - 1912 time frame? I cannot find a marriage record for my grandparents in Youngstown / Mahoning county or in West Middlesex / Wheatland / Sharon, Pa. yet my grandmother's naturalization papers from Mercer Cty, Penna. say she was married in October of 1911. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carole Allen" <carolea7@attbi.com> To: <CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:13 PM Subject: [CROATIA-L] communities > Yes, I was born in Youngstown Oh, and all my grandparents ended up there....one grandfather worked in the steel mills, the other was a gardener (had been a farmer in Croatia). > All lived on the north side of town, attended St. Peter & Paul Church (run with an iron hand by Fr.
