I don't know if Catherine is Croatian generally, but my husband's grandparents came from Croatia and named their youngest daughter Katherine (with a K not a C). So, at least some people think it is. vicki sauter -----Original Message----- From: Mary Hegarty [mailto:mhegarty@cybertron.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 6:23 PM To: CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CROATIA-L] first name On my grandmother, Marie Fanta's passenger record her mother's name is listed as, what looks like Cath. Pavlekovic. I was wondering about the Cath. It looks like an abbreviation for Catherine but that doesn't sound like a Croatian name. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be? Thanks!

My wife's grandmother was Catherine Saich. On the Ellis Island record of her immigration, her name was spelled Kata Seic.
