Catherine/Kata Rebic (b abt Jan 16, 1882) and Michael Francis/Marco Ferencic/Ferencia (b abt Feb. 1879) married November 8, 1898 before they immigrated separately; him first. Kata Ferencic is listed on a passenger manifest showing her immigration and arrival in the US on September 28, 1904.She arrived at Ellis Island via the S.S. Friedrich der Grosse' which sailed from Bremen on September 17, 1904.She is listed on line 20 of the passenger manifest.The manifest indicates that she is joining her husband, Marco, in Portland Mills, PA (in Elk County). The manifest also lists her last residence as "Dolnyiā€¯ but I haven't been able to locate a city by that name. Dolnyi, Dolne, Dolni, and other variants seem to be common prefixes to location names. According to the various censuses they were both born in Austria, Germany, or Jugoslavia, I assume the variation simply reflects the politics of the moment. The name Ferencic was apparently changed to Francis in 1908.
