Thanks for the offer of help! My Great Grandmother was Paulina Slama. She is listed on the Ellis Island website as coming over in 1913. It lists her father in the record, but I can't tell what it is. My grandfather is alive and well at 85. He does not know his grandfather's name. I hope to get that for him for Christmas this year! If you can help, you will be helping me to take one person off of my list!

How about allowing some here to look at the manifest? Some of us have looked at hundreds of ship manifests and have become fairly good at decipher those old documents. What was his surname, date, ship, etc.? I went through the alphabet and found no listings for anyone arr at Ellis Island whose race was listed as Bohemian nor anyone who was coming from old Bohemia nor anyone from Czechoslovakia with that first name! The only ones appeared to be from Syria, Turkey or of Hebrew race. So you must have a ship manifest for him arr at another port of entry?

I was looking into my Great Grandfather, and on a ship manifest it looks like it is spelled "Mour". Is that a Czech first name? Matt

However most of documents are still handwritten, manuscripts, usually "hidden" in the shelves of public libraries. So you have to search, search, and search in every place where your anchestor has lived. In Dujam case I should go in Croatia and in Hungary. But I do not speak those languages, and not all documents are in Latin. I have a couple of bibliographic references about Dujam, but I cannot read them: - HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE BORSA, Ivan e MALYUSZ, Elemer "Zsigmondkori Okleveltar" Volume V - (1415-1416) Akademiai Kiado, Budapest, 1997 - CROATIAN LANGUAGE NOVAK, G. "Povijest Splita" 1. Spalato 1957 OSTOJIC, I. "Metropolitanskji kaptol u Splitu" Zagabria 1975 I also know that the mother of Dujam is buries in the Split's Cathedral. Just outside, the second on the left on North side. The epigraph is + HIC NOBILLS FRANCI ACETPIISSIMA MATER DOIMI QUIERAT PRESUL VENERANDUS IN URBE AD MCCCCXI .... IX · DIE · XX · V · Λ DLIS I would like to have a picture of it. I hope, soon or later, to find someone in Split with a digital camera and a Internet connection... ;-) Dario de Judicibus http://www.dejudicibus.it/genealogia/ P.S. If you look at Ventimiglia's branch you'll see that I have ancestors up to 954 a.C. :)

Croatian (and Serb) Genealogy Seminar Have you ever wondered about your Croatian roots? Why did your family leave Croatia? Why did they choose to come to America? How did they live in Stari Kraj? Who were their parents and grandparents? Did they have any brothers or sisters? Are their any relatives in Europe? Was your name changed at Ellis Island? These are the kinds of topics we will be discussing in the genealogy seminar and showing you how to go about getting answers to the questions above. At last I've scheduled a Croatian genealogy seminar for the Pittsburgh area. These seminars are always fun and informative with nearly everyone going away with new information about their Croatian genealogy and how to find their personal family information. Some even go away with specific information about their family! Our next seminar is planned for Saturday, Nov 8th 2003, from 8:30 AM to 4: 30 PM. We will be covering the following topics. How to get started History of Croatia and origins of Croatians and how it will impact your search How our ancestors lived in the "old country" Croatian immigration to America and the journey to America, How to get started with your family tree The do's and don'ts of genealogy How to translating Croatian records How to locate records such as birth records, marriage records, death records, census records in the US and in Croatia Translation of given names (with Croatian, English, Italian and Latin), Meaning Meaning of surnames and categories of surnames Figuring Family relationships During the seminar we will demonstrate the value of the internet in doing family research online. Also included in the seminar is my Croatian genealogy handbook for you to take with you. Seating is limited and registration is required. For more info and to register please all Robert Jerin at 216-991-2310 or email me at rjerin26@yahoo.com The seminar will be held at the Monroeville PA Holiday Inn
