Hello listers, I have the following family that I am trying to investigate: TRONTELJ, Anton--b 1828, d Nov 1898 Second marriage in 1877 to KOZLEVCAR, Marijana--b 1847, d Feb 1897. They had 3 girls in Smarje / fara Smarje; the village Zgornja Slivnica, Slovenia: Marija--b 13 Dec 1882 > USA > MN; d 27 Aug 1959 Ursula--b fall 1884, stayed in Slovenia Frances--b 05 Sep 1887 > USA > MN; d 04 Jul 1965 Although it is believed that Anton served in the Austrian Army about 1848-1860 and allegedly obtained 2 medals, the Austrian Archives were unable to pursue without a regiment, which I do not have at this time. Would a birth certificate for Marija (my maternal grandmother) yield a birthplace and/or date for either of her parents? Would a death certificate for either/both of her parents be possible to be obtained with just a month and year? Does anyone know the address to which I could send such a request? Both great grandparents were of the Catholic faith. Would any of these documents be on microfilm at the Family History Centers? That is my next attempt at obtaining information on this family, although I will not be able to get to one any time soon. Most of this information comes from an oral history passed down to another descendant, who has since passed away. Thank you for any help or direction anyone can give me.
