Church Records for Ozalj? Borković/Borkovic Surname

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 2:27PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Borkovic, Borković, Labowitz, Labowic
Hello!

I have been searching for my great-grandfather, Anton Borković, in the Croatian Catholic Church records on Familysearch, but have struggled to find his specific birth place.

I recently came across a passenger record that appears to be the man I believe is his brother, Nick Borković, whose birth date is listed as 15 August 1876 in his World War I Draft Card in Etna, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania - just north of Pittsburgh.

This record catches my eye because "Miko Borkovic" was born around 1877, came to the U.S. in 1905 (which is consistent with what is listed in Nick's 1910 census record), and he is coming to Etna, PA:

Furthermore, the record, shows that he is going to a friend, and the name written in in pencil is "Herman Labowic" My Anton Borkovic died in 1907, and Herman Labowitz, a grocer in Etna, was the administrator of Anton's estate and guardian of his minor children.

The birth place listed in this record is Ozalj. I can't seem to find Catholic parish records for Ozalj on the Familysearch site. Does anyone know where I can find the specific names of the parishes from Ozalj so that I can look through these parish records on Familysearch?

Thanks!
