Hello--I have been looking for Klobuchars from Hibbing for some time--I remember an Uncle George visiting and staying with us in the late 50s maybe. My parents honeymooned in Hibbing and somewhere we have photos of them with older relatives--names unknown. Do you have photos of any relatives? We have a scanner somewhere(packed away) and if I could find the photos, maybe we could see if we have any common relatives. Is there any other info on the death certificate like spouse, if not deceased? What about an address? When did he die? Let me know if you have more info and I will check into the location of the photos--might be at my brother's house.

Sorry for such a long time to reply, long story.

I have the death cert, and here is what I have. George Klobuchar was born 1855 in Austria. Married to Margaret Smirka(sp?) 1861-1918. I know very little about George, I was only able to find his death cert beacuse my grandma remebered that her mom told her that a family member was buried somewhere way up in Minnesota.

I have info on George and Margarets kids: Anna, John, Kate, and Mary. George is buried at Greenwood.

The dates work out that George could be the brother of Michael Klobuchar.

I'm sure I have photos, but i need to go to some other family members houses and gather them. Let me know so of your info and maybe we can figure out the connection.

Hi--Yes I am still doing family genealogy--looking for info on relatives from Minnesota--my mother always said that that was where she and my day went for their honeymoon(Hibbing) and she also told me that we had relatives there(I do have photos)--the name George seems to come to mind when we had a male visitor--a relative stay with us. However, I realize that there were/are many Klobuchars in Minnesota. Amy Klobuchar--senator from MN--has many relatives which are not related to mine--she says they are Slovenian. But, that being said, I would love to see if we have any connections and/or if you have any info that would help me out. I am researching so many different family names for both my husband and myself--it has become addictive. Thanks for responding.

Klobucars in Eveleth, Mn and Calumet, Mi. John (Janez) Klobucar (Klobuchar) was born 19 Sept 1882 in Austria (Slovenia) and he died in 1919 in Eveleth Minnesota. I think he came the the USA in 1900 to Hermenie Pennsylvania due to his father's name being listed as John, and in the immigration record, he is going to his relative, his father, John. His last residence is listed as Lubia or Lubra, any ideas? I know he died in a mining accident in the Spruce Mine, but I cannot find the actual notice or obituary. He married Ursula Kochevar(Hocevar) in 1907 in Michigan. On the marriage record, it lists the sets of parents as John Klobuchar and Annie Caspoda and Frank Kochevar and Agnes Clements (Klemencie). I want to find out more about this family line, but I am having a lot of trouble...any help would be appreciated.

I remember my Grampa Gerald (Jake) Klobuchar saying his father fell down a mine shaft and died. I am pretty sure his name was John. They lived in Ely and Winton. Sheldon (Muggy) Klobuchar is Jakes brother and he had some old pictures of John.
