Lanisek family
I've recently begun researching the family name LANISEK from the area in and around Kamnik and would be interested in any information that any readers may have.My grandfather was Janez Lanisek from Zupanje Njive born in 1882, he married Marija Potocnik born in 1890, they married in 1921.They moved to Sempeter v sav Dolini near Celje soon after they married. Janez had 4 sisters, one named Josefa Lanisek who married and moved to Kastav Jurcic in Croatia.Marija had 11 brothers and sisters, of which two emigrated to USA - Franz Potocnik born in 1886 and Angela Potocnik born in 1898.I believe the family ancestors came from Kamnik and the surrounding villages of Stahovica, Zupanje Njive and Stranje.On recent trips to these villages I have not been able to locate any family graves bearing the name Lanisek for my great-grandparents generation and prior.Does anyone know why that is?
I would love to hear from anyone who has information about the Lanisek family, either still in Slovenia or descendants of that name in other countries or descendants of Franz and Angela mentioned earlier.Thank you for all replies.
