He came to America about 1902, had a sister Mary who married a Terlep and a Zagorc. Don’t know of any other Juresic sisters or brothers, but had a half brother named Anton Bogolin born in 1878. He married an Antonette Kadrun in Austro-Hungary and the mother’s name was Annie Skoflance. Wondering if Annie is also my Grandfather’s mother.

I search many years about my ancestors who emigrated from Germahy to Blumenau, South of Brazil. But I also research about the family of my Uncle Paulo Mayerle (before Majerle). His father Paul came from Majerle to Joinville, 150 km from Blumenau. Can someone help me to find more about them? Marcos Schroeder.
Would like some help concerning probably Gottsscheers that I run into when surfing the net. For instance, I was looking for a Mathias Kump and ran into three or so Mathias Kumps that most likely came from Gottschee. One was on a ship from Le Harve, France along with four other Gottscher names. The ages were listed so I could figure out approximate birthdates. Another was found in the Holy Family Krain Cemetery in Washington state. A birthdate was listed. Still another was listed in a directory for 1889 in Brookly with wife named Louise (?? Aloisia). Sometimes I have information on them in my file but sometimes I don’t. This information may be useful to somebody even if I can’t place it. Jim Heimann
