Hello Fran! On the ship manifest 10. Oct 1909 her last residence is Krucanice/Končatrice, Slavonia, and she is Bohemian. https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAxNzA0MDg wMjU3Ijs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7 This is also given as her birth place, Kanconice My grandmother also came from Slavonia, but I can not locate this place... This one perhaps? Končanica https://www.google.at/maps/place/Kon%C4%8Danica,+Kroatien/@45.6223857,17.304 1389,9z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4767a3067b05b645:0x6328cfa6f45512d!8m2!3d45.637844 7!4d17.1645964 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon%C4%8Danica a czech village, would fit. But unfortunately there are no records online on family search. I would try to contact the parish there or the matični ured for this place. Otherwise you won't be able to find out, from where her family came to Croatia. To your grandfather, very interesting I have also ancestral family in this place: Suchdol nad Lužnicí <https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchdol_nad_Lu%C5%BEnic%C3%AD> Your grandfather comes from the same place. Here is his birth entry: https://digi.ceskearchivy.cz/DA?doctree=1nrsm&menu=3&id=7686&page=129 in line number 9. His given name is Vavrinec, what is correct, as I have seen that he was named Lawrence in the USA (Vavrinec = Laurenz = Lawrence) Veceslav/Václav would have been Wenceslaus Just for the case you do not already have his birth entry.

On the ship manifest for my grandmother around 1907, she listed Koncanica, Croatia as where she was coming from. I'm not sure this is where she was born. This is why I'm hitting the brick wall.
