Hello, I'm looking for the name PEZZICAR, pre 1900. Anybody else? Jo Babis [email protected]

I am researching the family of my grandfather, Anton KLANCAR. He was born on 24 Dec 1873 in Nova Vas Obloke, Bloska Fara parish, Slovenia. He moved to the United States soon after the turn of the 20th century and lived in Pennsylvania where he died on 29 April 1935. He married Suzana Skender from Brod na Kupi in 1898. They had children both in Slovenia and in the US. His parents were Matija KLANCAR and Ana Hiti. I have no information about them. He had 3 brothers: John, Frank, and Juri. Anton and Juri were both master chimneysweeps. Does anyone on the list have any information about this family? I would be happy to provide the information I have on Anton's descendants in the US.

> Can anyone tell me what "Felakavi" means?? I have been told that houses in Ostrozno Brdo (village) have names, and this is the name of the house that my Pockaj's live in is/was called. It's 'vulgare nomen' or homelike name. In Slovenia ALL houses in the villages have it's own homelike name. 'Felak' have meaning of 'poor farmer' - root of the word came from arabian language. daniela

Does anyone know what the names of the Slovenian Catholic Churches would have been in Cleveland Ohio and Braddock & Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the early 1900's? Or where I could find out. I would like to search the LDS files but don't know the names of the churches.

I will try again to get this URL out to you guys. I hope it helps someone in their search for immigranting families. The site gives dates and places and a history of Port of New York and Ellis Island and other ports. Poldi The following is from the RootsWeb Review, and I thought it might be useful for some researchers. Betty Pace - Norfolk, VA <snip> SHAKING YOUR FAMILY TREE (SYFT). Did your ancestors come through Ellis Island? If they arrived prior to 1 January 1892 or from 14 June 1897 to 17 December 1900 they did not come through America's famous New York immigration processing station. See where they might have been processed in this week's SYFT column. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/syft/curcolumn.htm SYFT columns are archived by subject and can be browsed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/syft/

Ursula married my grgrandfather Anton Pockaj, (they were neighbors) about 1870 Anyone doing research on that name that can help will be greatly appreciated. [email protected]

Good morning! You don't mention the date of your grandfather's arrival or where you looked for the passenger ship information. Keep in mind, only a small percentage of passenger arrivals are online! Also something to remember is that very often, our ancestors were not always correct in their remembrances of port and/or ship and/or date of arrival! Was there a Certificate of Arrival with his immigration papers? If you check at this site: http://208.249.158.172/safe/like_ma_new.htm and type in La Sav for selection, you'll see many listings for arrivals of the ship La Savoie. You may need to recheck the appropriate passenger list yourself--having looked at some of them myself, I can vouch for the fact that some penmanship pages leave a lot to be desired! Hope this helps some! Anna in MN

I am wondering if someone can solve a mystery for me? On my grandfathers naturlazation papers it said that he came to the U.S. on the ship LaSavoie. When checking that ships list, I could not find his name. Is it possible that he came here illegally? I would appreciate anyone's in sight. [email protected]

The Dallas Public Library has on microfilm ships passenger arrivals in various ports, including New Orleans and Galveston. Also an index book series of names, ships, and years. The printed format is the series of books being published as data are compiled so names are being added with each new volume. The listings and books are not in chronological order. Offhand I cannot remember the title of the series but most large libraries have a copy. As time permits I can do look ups for SGS members; any copies will have to be paid for (Yeh, but less than NARA!). Hope this will help someone who is far from a good source of materials. Poldi

Hello everyone: This is an update of what I have found to date about the former Glasilo newspaper. The main office of this KSKJ publication was relocated to Joliet Illinois 2 years ago. I called this office and was told they archive the papers (which are bound) back to 1940. They are not available from them on film. Previously, the office of the Glasilo was in Cleveland, Ohio. I was given the name of the person who has published this paper for many years. I have written to him, but have gotten no response as yet. I also received an answer from the University of Minnesotta which has an Immigration History Research Center. They archive the Glasilo on film back to it's first published copy. The paper began publishing in January 1915, and the first issue on file is January 13, 1915. You can purchase films of all the newspapers that they have on film. To do research of the paper there is a fee. They were able to do a general reference search for me at no charge because I had the person's name, newspaper name, and date of death. There was no obituary published for this individual probably because the newspaper started so soon after her death. If you are interested, their web site is http://www1.umn.edu/ihrc/slovene.htm I will keep you posted on any response I get from the publisher.

Anyone who has had ancestors who were a part of the Slovenian community in Waukegan, Illinois (North Chicago) should be aware that the LDS Family Research Center has numerous films pertaining to this community. I am in the process of viewing the baptism and marriage records of Mother of God Church from 1903-1915. They are very detailed and easy to read records. I have seen many of the surnames that are being mentioned on this bulletin board.

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and hope that someone may be able to help me. My husband's Grandparents were from Novo Mesto in Slovenia, the family name being PAVLIN/PAULIN/PAULINE. The spelling varies from document to document. We have some documents that are from Ljubljana and need help with many of the words that are written in Slovenian. Is there a web site that has translations? We have a name "Bela Cerkev" which we believe means "White Church" and appears to be located in Novo Mesto. If anyone can help in our search, we would be most appreciative. Kind Regards, Georgea Sharkey [email protected]

"Bela Cerkev" means White Carniolan, the White Country Church. In the late 1800 to early 1900's Slovenia was a part of the Austria/Hungarian Empire. This was the Kingdom of Carniolan. (Now I know what that word means) Slovenia was under the rule of many of the surrounding countries throughout it's history. A good translation site is http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran If you can't find word meanings in Slovene, try Latin, German, Croatian, Hungarian, and possibly also be in Italian. Trieste was at one time a part of Slovenia. You could invest in a Slovene/English English/Slovene Modern Dictionary which is available at Amazon.com. You will find a lot of your tranlating to be guessing. Many of the words have multiple meanings and spellings. Also, single words may also be a phrase. I have an aunt who also helps with my translating as she grew up with the language. Don't give up. The more you do it, the easier it gets.
