I did a Google search for a name in my line that has long had me stumped. In searching rootsweb, I had ZERO matches on all the databases, but found one hit only on Google: "jutros u sstrajk, rekao je za agenciju Beta predsednik ovog sindikata Zlatko Bajrovich. Oni su se pridruzzili zahtevima sindikata radnika PTT-a "Nezavisnost" u www.drugaboja.co.yu/arhiva/novembar/6nov.htm <http://www.drugaboja.co.yu/arhiva/novembar/6nov.htm> " Looks like from the URL address that it might be Yugoslavia (YU), but does anyone know what language this is above? Serbian, Croatian, other? The ancestor I am stumped on is Mary Bajrovik, wife of Andrew Gesse. Their son, Andrew Gesse was born 26 Feb 1832 in Preussen (Prussia) and died in St. Joseph County, Michigan. Another possibility is that the name should actually be Bajorek. Barbara La Chance on the Surname Origins board suggested that as a possibility when she came up blank for Bajrovik. BAJOREK (Pol.) Dweller by the slough or muddy place.Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by E.C. Smith I know Prussia encompassed modern day Poland. Did it have any connection with Yugoslavia as well?
