Theresa Korosec was my grandmother. She was born in Stein, Austria and lived in Llubianja. She had a multitude of siblings. She married Franck Cembernic, and both settled in Toledo Ohio. She had relatives in Chicago. Suggest you email me direct at pk@geoprobe.org. I can provide more detail.

Author: bkilpatrick127 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.eeurope.slovenia.general/6604.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Korosec name caught my eye. That was also my great-grandmother's name. I don't know much, since I learned it only recently, when I found my grandparents' marriage record from 1917 and learned that was my maternal grandfather's mother's maiden name. It was a generation back farther than your family. She would have been born around 1880 and died in Slovenia sometime prior to 1911 along with her husband, Jakob Kozlevcar, in an influenza epidemic, according to family lore. My grandfather emigrated in 1911 as a teenage orphan. There were Korosecs in Forest City, PA, which is where my grandfather first settled. My family lived in MN, PA and eventually settled in Cleveland. Any of this sound familiar? The family probably came from Sticna in Slovenia.

Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.eeurope.slovenia.general/6607/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thought that I would post to see if anyone had a connection. My gr-grandmother was Julianna Zagar (Julie, Johanna). She married my gr-grandfather Joseph Katz in Kansas City (the Katz name was changed we think from Kac or Kec). She died in 1915 in Wellington, Missouri from what appears to be typhoid - when my grandfather (Tony Katz) was around one year old. Story was that there was several people from the old county that had worked the mines coal mines in this area. Both came to KC, KS from Austria but listed Slovenian as their nationality. I speculate that present day location is somewhere on the Slovenian/Croatian border (Prezid, Trava are a couple of locations). What little I do know about the Zagars are that my grandfather was baptized at St. Bridgets in KC, KS and that his sponsors were John Zagar and Emilia Zagar. John Zagar was Julianna's brother and his occupation was a Taylor. Tony, my grandfather, is now 97 and we are having some problems piecing the Zagar family together...it seems that Joseph's second wife (Sophia Kovac sister of Joe Kovac, Joseph's best friend) burned a trunk that had information about Julianna and the family. The other piece of information I have is that grandpa attended St. John's on Strawberry Hill as did some of the ancestor of those of you who posted. Any help would sure be appreciated.
