Hi Donna,
I haven't been able to get much information but did get some which I do hope helps you in your search. I have included your original post and made comments below certain paragraphs where I have been able to get some information.
I hope it helps even a little.
In reading your messages from 2002 and as I am just trying/learning to discover my ancestry, I found that your relatives and locations seem to be the same names I have from scraps my mother had from a trip she took to Croatia in 1987. Any info that you might be able shed would be appreciated. My grandparents were Mathew Koslovich or Matej Koslovic and Mildred or Milka Polich or Polic.
I found an Uncle Stevo Koslovic that came from Austria on the California in June of 1913. Same manifest shows a Tomo Koslovic. the manifest shows both from Kusonja, Croatia. Also showing Stevo's married to a Dragruic and Tomo married to a Pela.
My mother had said her father Mathew Koslovich had two brothers, John and Steve and two sisters, Barbara and Mary.
His parents were Mathew Koslovich and Rose Cisculich.
Should be spelt Cuculic
Grandmother was Mildred Polich and she had two brothers, Frank, Jr. and Leo. Her parents were Frank Polich and Julia Mivelich.
Of course these are all the American names and spellings.
I did a search of the village of Kusonja in Croatia and could not get it on a map.
The maps seem to get close to the general area that I have addresses from when my Mom and Aunt Julias visit. That would be Gorski Kotar, Mrkopalj and Fuzine.
The names of relatives/acquaintences /addresses/Mom had in her posession from her trip in 1987 are:
Josip Crvic, brother of Victor Crnic of Mrkopalj or Fuzine.
Josip Sepic from Fuzine that may be a priest. Dragisa Sepic, of Mrkopalj was his mother. These were my mothers cousins.
JMS-> Josip SEPIC is a priest originally from Mrkopalj and is now in Fuzine
Dragica SEPIC has 3 sisters: Vilma, Tonica and one other who my mother cannot remember. Vilma has two sons, Jakov and Dragic, both living in Melbourne, Australia and a daughter, Ana who still lives somewhere in Croatia. Tonica has one son, Ruda and a daughter Elvira. Ruda also lives in Melbourne, Australia while Elvira now lives in Rijeka.
Dragica had 2 daughters and 2 sons. Daughters are Danica STARCEVIC (married to Josa who is the brother of my Godfather) now living in Fuzine and Marija. Sons are Josip SEPIC, the priest you have identified and Viktor SEPIC. Don't have any further information on Marija and Viktor.
Anka Vlahovic of Novi Varas, Mrkopalj. Also Katharina & Josip Trbovic and Antona Gosprac.
JMS-> My mother and her cousin know these people except for Antona Gosprac, whom they believe should be Ivan GASPARAC who lived in Canada and died last year in 2006 aged 84. Ivan was married to Marija SUSIC who is still alive. Marija is the cousin of my Godmother Antonia (BENIC) STARCEVIC.
She also had the names of Max, Cazmier & Ivon Stimac, who would be distant relatives. Any leads you can shed?
JMS-> These names are spelt slightly incorrectly. Should be Kazimier & Ivan STIMAC.
