Amy, Could you post at least your parents and grandparents last names, or further back if you have the info? My grandmother PETROVIC and grandfather GRUBISIC were both from Sunger. This is the Sunger the locals always call 'Selo Sunger', in the Mrkopalj valley. Mrkopalj is where the parish church is and was and the distance is about 3 miles between them. You'll want to get the records from LDS for the church in Mrkopalj, Sunger didn't have a church. Some of the records go back to about 1755. Start slow, they're awful to read. Learn about German Gothic script: you'll need to be able to tell an L from an S or you won't be able to read that Talm Lomtag is actually Palm Sunday. I'm asking about the surnames because Gram had TADEVIC cousins, with whom we've lost touch.

ashley! i am sorry. i just reread your first posting to me and saw that you indicated your grandparents' last names. what i am wondering is how your grandmother had tadevic cousins- did one of her aunts marry a tadevic? do you know what the aunt's name or the uncle's name was? my great grandparents were steven tadevich and katherine delost thanks!
