First GRGURICHs in my line I know that came over from Croatia was Phillip Grgurich and Anna Spoljarich in 1917. The lived in Michigan in 1917. Please email me I would love to visit with you to see if we connect.

I don't have your email address to corresponde with you. My email address is karilyn@prodigy.net. I would love to visit with you. My grandfathers family all lived in Fulton County, Canton, IL. There isn't very many Grgurichs so we very well might be kin. Email me and I will tell you all that I know.

Fellow GRGURICH here... Hello
My parent came to the united states in the early 60's from thunder bay Ont. my dads parents came from the old country around 1925 No one seams to know if my grandfather had or has any siblings. my grandparents have both passed on many years ago. They where born in the early 1900's

Hi all,
I too have the Grgurich name in my family line. It's very difficult to do research because of the many variations of the name that I find along the way.
My gggrandparents were Paul Grgurich and Katarine Komadini (sp?)from Croatia, possibly Lokve. They had 8 children that I'm aware of: Louise, Mitza, Jack, Stephan, Francesca (my ggrandmother)(1885-1918), Juliana (my step ggrandmother), Mary, and Paul.
Do know know when they came to states but I believe it was through Ellis Island. I know that at one time they lived in Calumet Michigan, as my gggrandmother is buried there. I believe when Katarine died that my ggrandfather returned to Croatia and died there.
I have a wonderful photo of the family taken in the old country before they came to the states.
The family also traveled to Montana, my ggrandfather was a miner and resided in Red Lodge Montana were my grandmother Frances Blazina and her sisters were born. The 1910 census shows that a William and Steve Gregorich lived with my ggrandparents Frank and Frances Blazina, both are listed as brother in laws.
I've been fortunate to travel to the National Archives on many occasions and have gleaned some census and passenger ship information from my research. Finding missing links has not been very fruitful however.
If any of this sounds familiar, I'd love to talk with you.
Thanks
Terry

I'd appreciate discussing any information you may have. I agree, the name is uncommon so there most likely is a link.
I look forward to hearing from you.

My grandfather, Michel Spoljarich, came to Canada after World War II, I have been told. I know that he left behind two sons. He also served in the army as a "Colonel" or "Captain", I'm not sure. I very much would like to speak with you further, as I have many questions. Please contact me.
