Johan Vajda (John Vaida) |
Name 2: |
Marie Vivoda
(Mary Vevoda) |
Location: |
Croatia |
My grandfather immigrated to the USA around 1885. His
name was Johan Vajda but was changed to John Vaida upon
entering the USA. He was born in 1861 either in or near
Ljubljanca and had been in the Austria-Hungary Army.
My grandmother's maiden name was Maria Vivoda (could
have been spelled Vevoda) her given name was changed
to Mary upon entering the USA. She was born in 1863
in or near Metlica. She immigrated in 1891 and married
my grandfather that same year. They settled in Soudan
Minnesota where he worked as a iron ore miner until
his death in 1924.
Both left family members back in Austria-Hungray.
I am trying to make contact with decendants of either
the families Vajda or Vivoda (Vevoda) - I would appreciate
any information on either. Please contact me via email:
catgirls@att.net.

My grandfather was born in a village (do not know the
name) near Ljubljana in 1861.His name was Johann Vajda
but was changed to John Vaida when he entered the USA.
As a young man he was in the Austro-Hungarian Army -

his death in 1924.
My grandmother was born in 1863 in Metlica. Her name
was Maria Vivoda (could have been spelled Vevoda) she
immigrated to America in 1890 going directly to Soudan
Minnesota where she married my grandfather the same
year. Both left siblings back in Austro-Hungarian Empire

Hello,
I ran across your name on the internet. My grandfathers
name was Nicolas Veljacic and changed it to Velch
upon entering the US. He also lived and grew up
in Bribir. He was an only child but I do not know
how many siblings his father may have had.
What success have you had in mapping out the Veljacic
geneology?
I am attaching a gravestone that I recently received
from some family members while in Bribir this
past May. I do not see any connection with our
family roots but maybe it will help you. |

Posted by: Angela
Vlasic on April 7, 2001
Name: |
Vlasic |
Location: |
Bosna Hercegovina |
I'm looking for any information I can get on my husbands
family - he might have an uncle from his fathers side
that is here in the states. The last name is Vlasic
- he comes from Bosna Hercegovina place called Sovici,
Grude close to Imotski or Split if that helps any.
All I know is that he fled during the war and was never
heard from again - there were three other brothers;
2 were killed in the war and my husbands father whose
name was Ivan Vlasic was killed when a tractor fell
on him - he left behind a wife with child and at the
time a 18 month old son and 4 other daughters and 3
other sons. Right now I'm not even sure what the first
name of this uncle could be. Oh the place that he comes
from is also very close to Medgujorie.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Family is very important to me. |
