Hi Shiela,

Have you found Stana's ship manifest? Perhaps this is it. There is a Stana Radikovik arr June 08, 1920 from someplace called Nokrina next of kin Stana PRALYN from Dalmatie Serbia destination Columbus, OH then Philadelphia is written over it husband Jorge RADIKOVIK 1094 Ben St Columbus OH birthplace Serbia, DUBROKOVITVH The manifest shows she went through a special inquiry. and there is a medical notation on the manifest. Could this be Stana? She may have been born in Dubrovnik.

Of course Djuro nor Stana came from Serbia apparently they came from Croatia, as did most Serbs prior to WWII. Checking the online phone book there is one listing for:

Hi,

Grgic is from Dalmatia from the town of Markovac. There is a huge Serbian population there. If you have the place and date of birth you can write to the local district archive so they can check if they have something in their database for you. That would be my reccomendation to you.

Regards,

How is the name Grgic' pronounced?
Are there any derivatives?
Thank you.

Just read it as it is. The last "c" you pronounce like the beginning of the word chair.

Postovana rodjako Sheila,
Obracam vam se i na srpskom jeziku posto je moj Engleski los.Ne znam da li ste razumeli na Engleskom moje objasnjenje,ali vi ste verovatno moja Tetka.Posto je od starijih Radakovica ziv jedino moj stric koji je rodjen 1927 god.On mi je rekao da je vas Deda Djura Radakovic bio rodjeni Stric mom Dedi Nikoli Radakovic ili brat od Strica,ni on nije siguran posto je on cuo od mog Dede Nikole Radakovic da Djura Radakovic zivi u Americi sa zenom Stanom.Uglavnom taj kontakt je izgubljen do sad,javite se ako ste razumeli moje pismo posto ste nasli vasu bracu koji sad zive u Vojvodini.
Pozdrav vama i vasoj porodici!
Zoran Radakovic
