My grandfather was born in Chaonick Montenegro on the 15th of June 1885 and immigrated to New York from Havre France on the La Savorie November 1903. I am unable to find him on the boat manefest as the "oral history" handed down states the he changed his name from his fathers Polekcich (spelling?) to his mothers maiden name, Kalabich, due to the pending war and his mothers insistence that he leave. I am attempting to find some birth records and don't know where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
