My Matija KOCJAN md Josefa BLATNIK 1905 Sunnyside, Carbon co , Utah. Matija father was Janez KOCJAN and his mother was Katerina HOCEVAR or KOCEVAR. Josefa's father was Josef BLATNIK and her mother was Sophia DOBRIHA.

Santa - this surname is found in Slovenia but pronounced "shanta". Also, in case there was a misspeling as suggested by Poldi, you might want to search unter Sente. Gripp - is not a Slovene last name. It is definitely of German origin, there are no Gripps listed in the Slovene telephone directory. You should try searching in Slovakia.

Hi Cherie! Dobreha is a Slovene last name. Have you tried the SGS list of immigrants (published on the SGS website)? I do not have the surnames you listed in my database but will pass your query on.
