Hello everyone, I am new to Rootsweb-Slovenia and hoping that someone may know of or help me with my genealogy research of the families below. The bold entry was my husband's Grandfather and Grandmother. The name Pavlin is also spelled: PAULIN and PAULINE in the United States. We know that Aloizia, Josef and Ignatius were all in DePue, Bureau County, Illinois, USA in the early 1900's as we have a photo of them there. We believe that Ignatius returned to Slovenia but the other two stayed and died in the United States. We do not know if their parents or other brother and sisters ever came to the United states but doubt it. Most of the information that is contained in the following tree was received second hand from a relative who received a letter from Ljubljana back in 1988. We live in New Zealand and any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone has heard of these names before. Kind Regards, Georgea and Walt Sharkey [email protected] Descendants of Anton Paulin 1 Anton PAULIN b: Bef. 1800 Unk .. +Ursula RODIZH b: Unknown m: Bef. 1817 Unk .. 2 Joannes PAVLIN b: 15 Jun 1817 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia .. 2 Teresia PAVLIN b: 12 Oct 1818 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia .. 2 Gertrud PAVLIN b: 14 Mar 1820 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia .. 2 Mathaeus PAULIN b: 20 Sep 1822 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ...... +Anna RODIZH b: 1833 Unk Christening: Per Letter from Ljubljana, Yugoslavia m: 29 Jan 1850 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ....... 3 Anna PAVLIN b: 11 Nov 1851 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ....... 3 Franz De Pavla PAVLIN b: 25 Mar 1854 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ....... 3 Anton PAULIN b: 29 Sep 1856 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia d: Unknown ........... +Anna KUKMAN b: 21 Mar 1851 Bela Cerkev,White Church, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia m: 18 Feb 1879 Bela Cerkev(White Church)Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia d: Unknown ........... 4 Aloizia PAULIN b: 26 Jan 1880 White Church, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia Religion: Catholic d: 1 May 1958 Fontana, San Bernardino Co., California ............... +Vincent MACHEK, Sr. b: 13 Sep 1872 St Peter, Austria Religion: Catholic m: 28 Apr 1902 St Joseph Church, LaSalle, LaSalle County, Illinois d: 1 Jul 1947 Princeton, Bureau County, Illinois ........... 4 Antonia PAULIN b: 1 Aug 1882 Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia Christening: Per Letter from Ljubljana, Yugoslavia d: Unknown ........... 4 Josef PAULIN b: 8 Sep 1884 Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia Religion: Catholic d: 1923 DePue, Bureau County, Illinois ............... +Ursula SKUTEL b: 26 Oct 1887 Bela Cerkev, Yugoslavia m: Abt. 1907 d: Jul 1978 San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California ........... 4 Ignatius PAULIN b: 22 Aug 1887 Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia d: Unknown ........... 4 Franciska PAULIN b: 6 Jun 1890 Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia Christening: Per Letter from Ljubljana, Yugoslavia d: Unknown ....... 3 Maria PAVLIN b: 6 Jun 1859 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ....... 3 Alojsius PAVLIN b: 5 Apr 1862 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia ....... 3 Caecilia PAVLIN b: 3 Nov 1866 Bela Cerkev, Novo Mesto/Slovenia, Yugoslavia
