Kim:
Voinich, Austria, is the same as Vojnic, Croatia. (Learned that after I made the posting.) I have very little information on my son-in-laws' family. Joe Gvozdev and Annie Zorich/Zoric were the parents of John, Sophia, and Mike Gvozdich, b. 25 Oct 1896, d. Aug 1972, Fredericktown, PA, m. 5 Jan 1921, Uniontown, Julia Bartkowick/Bartowick PA, b. 1906, Depew, N.Y., d. 9 Aug 1999, Vestaburg, PA. They were the parents of Sophie, b. 1922, d. at youth; Helen Hague, b. 1923; Dorothy O'Keef, b. 1925; Joey, b. 1926, d. at youth; Margie, b. 1928, d. 18 mos.; Kitty Grooms, b. 1930; Gin Zites, b. 1936; and Lee, b. 1942. I have a few family stories, but that is it.
I believe that the Gvozdev name is connected with Russian nobility and may also be connected with the princes of Rostov in the ancient Ruric line.
I wish I had more to share. I have been communicating with the family in PA, but have not gotten much to go on.
I look forward to hear more from you.
