Sodia/Sodja from Vinica, Slovenia

I have information on the Sodja/Soda/Sodia/Sodya family from Mackovec pri Suhorju, which I believe is within the Vinica parish, although the village is actually closer to Metlika and Cremolj. One of my great uncles, Peter Sodja Jr., married Mary Perko. They lived in Butte, Montana. Are you also researching the Perko family?
My older Sodja family ancestors in America include one relative who died in Pueblo, Colorado -- Margaret. She died in 1959.Another, Joseph, died in Toole Colorado in 1943. He was married to Mary Bercopec and they had three children -- Joseph Frank, Matthew R, and Mary S.I can provide more information if this seems pertinent to your family search. You can e-mail me directly.I just visited the cemetery at the church in Vinica this summer and was surprised that there were no Sodjas there.I believe the bodies of those who remained in the old country are scattered around in the smaller villages by the chapels, which are numerous.I did not have time (was on a tour) to do any research in the churches or Ljubliana archives.
