Looks like we might be related. I'm looking for information on the parents of Caroline Kauzlarich and Belac Iskra, or Belez Iskra, or Eskra. Their son Matt immigrated to the US in the 1905 to 1910 range from Mrkopalj. We believe he went to Pennsylvania or Michigan first, lived in Des Moine, Ia, but eventually settled in the Northeast Missouri area as a coal miner and farmer. Is this similar to your ancestors?
