Hello Everyone..... Any information you may have or can find on the following would be very much appreciated! My mother was born in Sostanj (Schonstein) in 1904 and was baptised at St. Michaels Church. Her parents were also born there -- Ferdinand Stvarnik in 1877 and Franciska Brisnik in 1882. Franciska listed her closest relative as her grandfather, Mathias Brisnik and Ferdinand listed a brother-in-law as J. Kolenc. My mother's maiden name is Angela Stvarnik. Ferdinand emigrated to the USA on the ship Vaderland which arrived in New York June 3, 1907. He settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On November 28, 1908, Franciska and her three children, Josef, Angela (my mother) and Franz boarded the ship Prinz Friederich Wilhelm in Bremen which arrived in New York on December 8, 1908. They were accompanied by Franz Brisnik (or perhaps Briznik) who listed Ferdinand as a friend. Does this mean anything to anyone on this list?
