Sergej or Sasa, What can you tell me, if anything, about the Grba name? I've tried the Ellis Island site but can't find him. I am checking with other sources now to try and get more information.
Thank you for your time.
Be safe and happy,
Sheila
What do you want to know about the name?
Regards,
Sergej
Sergej, In what region it may have come from? My Uncle couldn't tell me anything .
Be safe and happy!

Sheila,
From what I can see the name is being used in the Serbian area's of Dalmatia and respectivly Montenegro and Zahumlije ( Herzegovina ) as well.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact origin of the name due to migrations and different branches. That is all I can say about it for now.
Take care,
Regards,
Sergej
Sergej, That is more than I knew before. I wish my Uncle would hurry up and answer my letter! I sent him a page full of questions to answer for me. But have not heard back yet . Thank you for the informacije.
Be safe and happy! )

Sergej, I have spent hours at the Ellis Island site. I "think" I may have found my step-grandfather. Nicolas Grba. If it is him he was listed under his nick name, Ilia Grba. He came here May 15th of 1912.He was 18. Pplace of residence, was Tesenice,Hungary.I also found out he served in WW1. I also "think" I found his 2 brothers and his father or uncle! Due to the feelings my 2 Aunts have, I will keep this information to my self.I'll keep you posted.
Best Wishes,
Sheila
