ISO parents/siblings of Marko and Vaso Vuletic

Surnames: vuletic, vuletich, kalenic
I am researching the family tree of a friend. I am stuck at his grandfather, Vaso Vuletic, and Vaso's brother, Marko.

Marko was the older of the brothers, born 12 Apr 1890 in Krstinja, Croatia and died Jun 1966 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA. It appears that Marko immigrated to the United States first. I found his entry into New York on 7 Jun 1914, aboard La Savoie, which sailed from Le Havre. I believe the passenger list gives the name of Marko's parents, but I cannot read it.

I have conclusively established that Marko and Vaso were brothers. Marko's World War I draft registration card lists Vaso, his brother, as his next of kin. At the time of his registration, Marko was living at 563 Plum Street in Johnstown, PA, and working for Bethlehem Steel, where Vaso also worked.

Vaso Vuletic was born 12 Apr 1893, also in Krstinja, Croatia, and died 4 Apr 1966 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA. He is buried at Grand View Cemetery in Johnstown.

Although I have not found evidence of Marko marrying, Vaso did - in about 1916/1917, likely in Johnstown. He married Stana Kalenic (her maiden name was spelled "Kallinick" in the obituary of one of her sons). Based on a passenger list for the Calabria, upon which Stana re-entered the US in 1921, I calculate her birth year to be 1887, and her birthplace to have been Perjasica, Karlovac, Croatia.

Stana re-entered the US on 13 Mar 1921 from Trieste accompanied by a 13 year old boy named Milo Vuletic. I do not have a date of death for Stana, but she was not listed in the Vuletic household in the 1930 census, so she may have died after the birth of the youngest Vuletic child, Helen (born 11 Nov 1926) and before the 1930 census.

Children of Vaso Vuletic and Stana Kalenic are:
Nikolas Vuletic, born 19 Jun 1911 in PA and died May 1986 in Beaver Co., PA (adopted, according to 1930 census);
Joseph Vuletich, born 28 Sep 1918 in Cambria Co., PA and died 3 Jul 2006 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA. He is buried at Grand View Cemetery, Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA;
George Vuletich, born 21 Mar 1920 in Cambria Co., PA and died 2 Aug 1999 in Riverside, Riverside Co., CA;
Douglas "Shorty" Vuletic, born 8 Oct 1921 in Cambria Co., PA and died 1 Sep 2007 in Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA. He is buried at Grand View Cemetery, Johnstown, Cambria Co., PA;
Miles Vuletic, born 1924 in Cambria Co., PA; and
Helen Vuletic, born 11 Nov 1926 in Cambria Co., PA.

If anyone can help me out with the parents and other siblings of Vaso and Marko Vuletic, please reply either to this message or email me at sharpchick13@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance.
