Someplace in the ancestors US documents you should be able to locate their precise place of birth.

I suspect Doulina is transcription error and it should be Paulina.

Peter and Ursula (Ula) Kotar

galegirl82 — 2013-05-11 00:25:52Z

I am looking for the parents or siblings of Peter Kotar b.1882-d.1951 born in either Slovenia or Yugoslavia died in Louisiana married to Ursula Ula b.1895-d.1965 born in either Slovenia or Yugoslavia died in Louisiana. I know that Peter moved to the states and settled in Oklahoma after he married a lady prior to Ursula and I think her name was Paulina or Doulina and they had a son named Josef/Joseph,I am not sure when she died but when she died Peter went back to Yugoslavia and that is where he met Ursula and they married and settled in Louisiana.

Re: Trinajstic

@tina_PS Thank you. The meaning of the name is very interesting.

Re: Trinajstic

Tina_PS — 2013-04-14 17:30:12Z

I find it very unlikely that the surname Trinajstic (any spelling variation) has anything to do with Slovenia. It does mean "for the thirteenth time" in Slovene, but nothing similar exists here in a surname form.

Ban family

afradel — 2013-04-13 04:58:05Z

Interested in talking to anyone with knowledge of the Ban family from Bac, Slivje, Materija, Povzane area. Most interested in Francka Ban (various spellings), born 1889, arrived in U.S. 25 July 1913 with my grandmother Marija Fabjancic (later Fradel).Other family are Josip, Joe, John Ban.

Now I wonder if Slovenia or Croatia has anything to do with your research. Do take a look at these NY EI arrival manifests.

That seems to kind of fit, but we have that he was born in 1859 and arrived in 1889. It is so close though.

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

memrylane — 2013-04-11 23:29:28Z

Here is a link to a couple of photos and a newspaper article about the Papez family in Franklin. There were (and still are) members of the "Papish" family (same family) still living in Frontenac, Kansas. http://www.franklinkansas.com/families/papez.html

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

acpopish — 2013-04-11 21:52:58Z

All of the census records I've referenced are available here at Ancestry. You should use the spelling 'Papish' for the Pueblo location, as that tended to be standard spelling there. One hour to the north in Denver, it was 'Popish'. In Cleveland and Joliet, Ill. it was 'Papesh'. I think these spellings were standardized by publishers of early city directories, who did their best to spell it like it sounded.

If you are able to identify the place in Austria/Yugoslavia/Slovenia where Jerry was from, I'd be interested to know that. I suspect he was from the same area of Suha Krajina SE of Ljubljana that my Papez ancestors came from. There was an extreme amount of immigration from that area during the years from 1880 to WWI.

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

Ppapesh13 — 2013-04-11 20:12:15Z

I have called and e-mailed all of my uncles to search for more info. Would I have any you need?

How does Popish relate to Papesh and so fourth? Or are they not? Are these surnames or what seemed to be the best translation? I did easily find that Papez means Pope or the blessed one and that there are remaining families in Slovinia. However, as you stated it seems that my relative immigrated from Yugoslavia.
Is it possible to e-mail a scan of these documents to me?

Thanks again,
Paul

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

acpopish — 2013-04-11 15:08:45Z

It would seem to me that Jerry Jr. is your grandfather - he was born about 1907, and Jerry Sr. had to be the "Georgini" you refer to (your ggf). Sr. was shown as born in Yugoslavia about 1885, so he was the immigrant. There is a Slovenian given name "Jernej", which was not that common - perhaps this became "Jerry" after arrival in the US.
I have notes of Jerry Sr's family in the following censuses -
1910: 427 Palm St., Pueblo, Colo.
1920: 8000 Marble Av., Cleveland, Ohio
(Both of these census records show that Jerry immigrated to the US in 1902. I have not yet found a passenger list that shows him.)
So the family obviously relocated from Colorado to Ohio between those dates.

Re: LUZOVICH Jugoslavia or Austria 1890-91 >Minnesota, USA

nancyl1 — 2013-04-11 04:58:11Z

I think there must be a link between our families. My grandfather, Josef Luzovec, came from Austria (Slovenia) to St. Louis Co., Minn., in about 1910. His name was changed to Luzovich shortly after he arrived. Josef met and married my grandmother, Maria Belcjan (also from Slovenia), in Ely, Minn., and my father and his two siblings were born there between 1914 and 1926. The last name on my grandparents' wedding certificate and their kids' birth certificates is Luzovich.

That is them for sure. This is so fascinating to discover a past that I never had a chance to explore before. My father died when I was very young. I really appreciate you help!!!

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

acpopish — 2013-04-10 22:24:00Z

I happened to find your uncle Edward's obituary in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. I see the family lived at 4444 E 154th in Cleveland from the 1940 Census, which shows Jerry (Sr.) and family, with Jerry Jr. apparently in a 2nd house/unit at the back of the property. This shows Jerry Jr's birthplace as Colorado.

I remember a few years ago speaking with someone in Cleveland (poss. John?). If memory serves, the story he related was that there was a house fire in Pueblo, Colo. in the past that took some of the family members, and the others subsequently moved to Cleveland. I'll have to dig around to see if I have further notes.

-Tony

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

I only learned about him a few weeks ago at my Uncle Edward's funeral. I was told that my great grandfather was from Slovinia.

Re: Calling all Papez / Papesh / Popish families

Do you have an idea when your Papez ancestor immigrated to the US, and where he settled? Was he from Slovenia?

I'd be glad to share information from my pretty extensive research on these surnames.

Re: STERGAR

I knew Frank many years ago. I was a flight traffic clerk for the Air Transport Command . He was a passenger on a plane I was working. Chatted with him a bit, discovered we were both from Minnesota.
I have been downsizing recently. I have a very nice picture of Frank on his Indian Cheif motorcycle that I did not want to discard. I have been wanting to pass it on to a relative.
Yes, I was aware Frank had died.
Over the years I had lost track of him and know nothing of his family.
