My grandmother Dragica Grgas came to America in 1910 or so. She was dau. of Franjo Grgas and Ana r. Crnaric. She was born 12 May 1898 d. 1972. Married 1 David Lukezic in Beverdale, Pa. Three children Arthur, George and Mildred. Then she met Joseph Kisic and had 6 more children, Elizabeth, Joseph Anna Louise, John, Josephine and David. She was born in Croatia. Joseph left a wife and children in Croatia and when he died his social security went to his wife in Croatia. Is there anyone on this list that can helpme to locate info on this Joseph Kisic? Thanks for any help you may be to me. Pat Miller Dyer pdyer53@yahoo.com

There are 2 Jozo (form of Joe/Joseph) KISIC arr 1910 destination Johnstown PA (Beaverdale is nearby) There are also other Josip/Jozo KISIC found who went to Johnstown. Most seem to be from Petrovina, Croatia. Draga is Carline, Dragica is a diminutive form of Draga. Checking for GRGAS it appears that some of them are also arr from Petrovina. If was not unusual for people who settled in the US to marry people who came from the same place in Europe. http://www.croatia-in-english.com/rj/index.html Robert Jerin ----- Original Message ----- From: "pdyer53" <pdyer53@netzero.net> To: <CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 9:02 PM Subject: [CROATIA-L] Beginning research on Kisic > My grandmother Dragica Grgas came to America in 1910 or so.
