Misha One of the Slovak ones is Jezersko 49018'00"N 20020'00"E The other might be Slovenska Ves 49014'00"N 20026'00"E If not, have a look at http://www.iarelative.com/gazateer.htm Records are probably available at a Family History Center. See http://www.lds.org/Family_History/How_Do_I_Begin.html If you see anyone named Puhalla or Urban in the records, please let me know. They're from somewhere around there, but I can't find them. Good luck in your search. Jim

Where is Tanac, Croatia near? I've gotten the Croatian Telephone listings for 044(Sisak and surrounding areas) and it is listed there. However, is it near Sisak, Kutina, Jasenovac or Novska? I can't find it on the map or by connecting with www.applicom.com/maps/. I'm interested in the area as there are CEVIZOVICs(Éevizoviæ) living there. Researching: CEVIZOVIC, LACKOVIC, RUKAVINA Thank you in advance for any help. Ruth Stolfer [email protected] PS. Is Éevizoviæ the Croatian spelling for Cevizovic????

I am researching the name Biroschik. Since I have been unable to find anything there must have been a name change somewhere along the line. My father-in-law says he was told his relatives were from Slavakia but knows not much else. His parents spoke but they did not want him to speak the language. He figures they might have come over the late 1800's or early 1900's. Any help would be appreciated. You can e-mail me at dbbokc @aol.com. Thank you for a beginning.

My husbands family. Not much known except came from Slavakia maybe around the end of the 1800's or early 1900's. Lived in Streator, Ill but unable to locate list of arrival or naturalization or what ever. If anyone can help please e-mail with info. Thanks alot!

Hi, I'm new to this newsgroup and new to searching for my roots. I've found some family documents which list a few towns in Slovakia and Galicia/Austria (???)

Slovakia: Slovenskej-Vsi and Jezersko Galicia: Romanciw, Terebovla Mohynytsia, Terebovla Austria: Nagelmira or Ungelmira Yene or Yese You can email me at [email protected] Thanks! Misha

Ogulin is about 15000 souls, lies on the Kapela mounts in the Gorski-Kotar region of Croatia, some 40-50 miles east of Rijeka (Fiume). It has a nice castle of the Frankapan familly, but that's all. Be lucky in your queries.

Is there any searching engine to find names for Czech republic? Petr

The etymology of this name is Slavic. The name is found today in Poland, spelled Szutocki, derived from the Polish adjective szuty. All linguistic elements of the name are Slavic, as is the case with many Hungarian surnames. J. Piszczor

I apologize if it sounds like I do not know what I am doing, because I dont. I am trying to find my roots and I dont have much information..here's what I do have... 1. My great grandfathers name was Frank Kirasic. (I believe the Croatian spelling is Franjo) 2. My great grandmothers maiden name was Mary Turkovich. 3. My grandfathers name was George Kirasic. 4. My family comes from Ogulin (I think it's spelled right) 5. They settled in the Pittsburgh Pa. area. 6. My father says his name is spelled Kirasich on his birth certificate. (with an H) Can anybody give me any information on the history of the names or can you tell me what resources to use to search my family tree. Is Ogulin a big city, small farm town, etc. Does anybody know any Kirasic's in the U.S. Thanks for your time, again I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

Let us be satisfied if people look for Austrians here and not in Australia (this happens!). You may always ignore basic questions (I most often do) or you may educate (I sometimes do), but in an open newsgroup or list you have to live with and tolerate it. My knowledge of North-American history and geography is also much smaller than that about European history (though I might know in *some* respects more than *some* locals).
