I have been building a web site which has photos of my family, Mother Of God Catholic Church in Waukegan/North Chicago Illinois, and a Slovenian Settlement and Church in Willard Wisconsin. This started because the Waukegan Historical Society asked if I would take the photos that were found at MOG in Waukegan and try to get the people identified. There are photos of the 1900 era of Slovenian married couples, multiple men and/or women, single men and/or women, children, and families. The photo studios that took these pictures were from around the country. So I assume these families moved to Waukegan and joined the church. I have these photos posted in hopes that someone will recognize these people. I also use this site for my Slovenian ancestors and family members. In the early 1910's about 30 families from Waukegan and MOG moved to and started a Slovenian Settlement in Willard Wisconin. In addition families migrated there from other parts of the country. I have posted photos of various activities in that community and have been working at identifying the people in the photos. Please feel free to view and join my site. If you can help me I would appreciate. If you join it makes it easier for me to notify you when I have made any changes to the site.

Hi Doris, > Im searching for siblings of my great-grandfather Matevz ( Matthew ) Jereb. He was born 24 March 1866. He married Maria Gantar sometime around 1890. I don't know where they were born or married, but the 9 children were born in or near Lucine - Suhi dol 6, Slovenia. I have been searching for 18 years and I can't get any further in my search. I was told that Matthew had other family members in Slovenia. Matthew and Maria came to the US in 1900 and the children followed later at different times. I researched all over my 'own archive' for Slovenia, but unfortunately found only few surnames JEREB which belong to area of village Lucˇine, located near town Kranj. If you can tell me where from did you received information about 9 born children, maybe, I can help you. daniela from sLOVEnia > If anyone has any suggestions as to where I might look, I would appreciate it.

Hi Mary, > I kind of suspected that but just had to verify it. Is there a reason they > are all spelled so differently? Is it the era they were written in or just > variations of the spellings? First of all, I would say, it's name depend of time the document was created. I don't know where from you picked up those names, but I assure you the names are related to the same parish.

Can anyone explain the difference, if any, of the following names: fara Brezovic Dragoncnja; Dragomerju, Parish of Brezovica, Ljubljani; Dragomer, Brezovica pri Ljubljana, Slovenia. These are variations of the spelling of the birth place of my ancestors.

Hi everyone: Today I found our library has the 1905 Minnesota State Census. Not Federal Census but State. I ran through the roll for Ely and found Slovenes and other "Austrians" working in the mines along with Lits and Swedes. Very cold place also. Maybe one day someone call extract all the names and publish them. I would do it if I had a laptop to take to the library with me to use while reading the film. Just thought I would pass this source along to other researchers and hope that you find your family when they first migrated to America. Found several Peterlin families by the way if that means anything to anyone. If I hit the Lotto, maybe I can afford to buy that laptop and make a lot of you happy. But until then..... Happy New Year to All. Poldi

Mary, This is a problem that we encounter when sending messages back an forth from countries that use accents over certain letters. In your list below, è = accented c ¹ = accented s ¾ = accented z I've also seen: ® = accented capital letter Z With a little practice you can usually figure them out. These accents are very important because they are separate letters of the alphabet, called "cheh", "sheh", and "zheh", and a word might have a completely different meaning if you forget the accent mark. For instance, when you look up words in a Slovenian-English dictionary, you will find the accented "c" after all the other c's; the same with the accented "s" and "z". On your list below, the (a) after a word means that if you see the same word ending in an "a", it is feminine. (Lat.) means it is a Latin word, not Slovenian. (vulgo) means it is a slang expression.
