Petar Jovanovich is my great-grandfather. I found his registration from Ellis Island that says he entered this country at the age of 19, in 1906. His ethnicity is listed as Montenegrean, but I've always been told he was Croatian. He was born in 1887, and died in St. Louis, MO in 1941. Any information about his parents is appreciated. Thank You!

Are you certain you have the correct Petar JOVANOVICH? There are also listings for Petar JOVANOVIC (sounds like jovanovich). The later would be a Croatian sp. whereas the former would be a Montenegren sp.. There is Petar JOVANOVIC arr 1905 age 17 destination to Paval JOVANOVIC (cousin) St. Louis MO.
