Hello, I'm researching the names: Bauer, Jugovar, Wohinz and Lapusek. Lapusek has been spelled many different ways: Lapusek, Lipousek, Lipusch, Leposek, Lapus. I am interested in all Bauers born in the present day Slovenia. My great grandfather, Rudolph Bauer came to America in 1906. He moved to Kansas, then settled in West Virginia. He was from the town of Zagorje ob Savi in Krain, Austria-Hungry. He left behind in Austria his family. His parents: Franz Bauer and Johanna Bauer nee Lapusek. Siblings: Anna Bauer, born about 1860, who married a Wohinz. His brother Franz Bauer, who later moved to Rogaska Slatina, a town near by. Dorthea Bauer, who moved to Colorado, USA and married Peter Potochnick A sister, who married a Jugovar and remained in Zagorje ob Savi Wenzel Bauer, who moved to Hrastnik, a town near by. Maximilain, no information Rudolph was the baby of the family. He was born in 1882. All the children were born in Zagorje, except for the first born Ann. She was born in Maribor. I have looked in the Slovenia telephone directory on the Internet. There are no more Bauers living in this area. I have more information, and willing to share. I also have one question for you all. I am trying to find out the death dates of Rudolph's parents. I know Johanna the mother was alive in 1910, but the father, Franz was not. Did the Slovenia government have death records at this time. Also in general did the churches keep records of death. Christine Merseal St. Louis, MO
