My great-grandfather's name was John Kumer Sr. He came from Yugoslavia by boat to New York City when he was just 11 years old. I would like to find his parents and relatives. Any information would be helpful.

Keri.....could you give more information on
your Grandfather-John Kumer. My Grandparents,
Jakov and Justina [Grzanich] Kumer came from
Croatia. They went through Ellis Island and
eventually settled in Fulton co., Illinois.
It is possible that we are related as the
Kumer name is not a common one in Croatia.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Emily J.

I just heard of a new internet site that is going up. It is www.ellisisland.org and it is supposed to list information about relatives that came by boat into Ellis Island. Right now, it is nearly impossible to log onto it and some links aren't running yet, but from what I've heard, our ancestors had to give their ancestors names when they registered into this country at Ellis Island.

I am looking for information on the Grzanich family that settled in Fulton Co., IL. My great grandfather was Charles "Karlo" Grzanich also from Fulton Co. His brother was Matt also from Fulton Co.
