I am at a standstill finding info on the Mestek side of my family. Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Here is what I have so far:
RUDOLPH MESTEK(1888-1932) was my great grandfather. Born in Yugoslavia. Emmigrated to US in either 1904 or 1913. Married PAULA VOZELG or VOZELI.
Rudolph had 7 siblings, although I only know the names of 4 of them: FANI(b.9/25/1828), VINCENT or VINKO, MALKA, and CHRISTINE.
Fani was never married and stayed in Yugoslavia/austria.
Vincent had a son named VINCENT/VINKO(ABT 1933-3/1/1953),who died during some sort of fighting in Bosnia.
Malka had 3 children that I know of: DRAGO(ABT 1937), JOSE(ABT 1933), and FRIDA. Frida married into the name RAZBERGER and had 2 children that I know of: IRENE (ABT 1941) and MIRA or MINA(ABT 1947)
Christine married into the name KOLAR and had 1 child that I know of, HEINRICH or HENRY(Died 11/1/1959).

Its a lot to take in, but any help would be appreciated!! Thnaks!!

- you need to include the place of origin, besides names and dates :)

- based on surnames found in records in XIX century, maiden name of Paula - original spelling could be VOZELJ, but that needs to be confirmed in relation to her place of origin.

- is the birth year you gave for FANI correct - 1828 - it does not seem right when compared with the birth years of her siblings' children (1930s and 1940s).

- did any of them live in Bosnia? Do you know when they moved there and to which area?

-are you looking for vital records or to find living descendants of these people - for both of these things most help you will find on the specialized Slovenia board here :
