Courtney,
Don't know of your grandfather specifically but, I believe that most Trbovic/Trbovich names come from the village of Trbovici which is located on a plateau in the province on Dresnica in Croatia. The village is one of the Serbian family villages placed on the plateau by the Hapsburgs as a roadblock to invaders. My mother Father immigrated from Trbovici and I have taken my children back to visit.

Hello, I am Peter Sonny Trbovich by birth. My father is Peter Trbovich, a senior, living in San Pedro, California, the last I heard. He should be in his 80's. I may/may not be related to the Peter Trbovich you know.
I too, am curious about my obscure bloodline. All I know is that my father is a second generation immigrant, who split off from the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania Trbovich's to, "do his own plowing", as he put it. He had one son (me) that I know of, by a Lois Marie Trbovich (not her real name, she has dozens of names, but they never legaly married). He is quite cantankerous these days, deep into his alcohol, and not much help as he has no interrest in the rest of his family background, and little memory anyway. I looked him up myself when I was a teenager, my mother became estranged from him shortly after I was born. As for mom,
she is a clinically diagnosed schitzophrenic last known to be wandering the streets of Orange County California, homeless and deranged and hostile towards all offers of help. So that's the end of her part of the story.

My wife's maiden name is Terbovic -- the family is of Serbian descent and emigrated from what is now Croatia around the turn of the century (1900). Various family members from different generations spell the surname differently: Trbovic, Terbovich, Terbovic and so on. Her grandfather came to McKeesport, PA (near Pittsburgh) in 1901. Several of his brothers also immigrated there. Here are the descendants of his father, Josip:

................... 3 Louise Terbovic 1918 -
................... 3 Diane Terbovic 1920 - 1992
........ 2 Todor Terbovic 1886 - 1950

Milovan's Ellis Island record says he came from a village called 'Trovjepor' in what is now Croatia, although I have been unable to locate it on modern maps.

Todor & his family moved to Detroit. I believe a grandson of his played football at the University of Michigan.

If there are any connections, I would be interested.
