Is this your Ignatius MAKER
IGNATIUS MAKER 08 May 1904 Aug 1955 (not specified) His SS-5Form should have his place of birth and parents names.

GUNDIC (sounds like goondich) come from Zumberak Mountains in Croatia. As Zlatica pointed out from Kalje. I have friends here in Cleveland who have GUNDIC in their family tree. So you are searching in the wrong country!

Magda would be the correct Croatian spelling. Magdelina would be English.

Giving some birth and death dates as well as where they lived in the US would help
