The record is typed so I assume it is accurate. It states that on September 7, 1920 Franciska Dane landed at Ellis Island. She was going to Chicago, Illinois to live with her son Sebastian Dane, my Grandfather. record states she is a Slovenian from Trzin, record allso states she left her sister behind. Her sister's name is Zitta Ihweiss. I can't find any record of Zitta Ihweiss anywhere. I am trying to find out if Ihweiss Is my GreatGrandmother's maiden name or Zitta's maried name. And what nationality is surname Ihweiss. I do not read or write Slovenian, I live in Illinois, USA. Would someone please help, and I thank you in advance for your assistance.
