He was travelling with his brothers: Manaojlo (1867) and Simo (1872) on the Oceanic from Southhampton, England on Mar 31 1909. They listed Austria as home country.
She followed in 1913, arriving NY, NY May 5th from Flume (France) on the Carpathia, nationality listed as Croatian. Age and homeland believed to be fabricated. Listed my Rade name and Ronco, PA as destination (which is correct)
Thier first child Peter was born before they immigrated and died the day of his Christening (abt. 1907).
They moved to in and around (first Ronco, PA) Masontown, PA. They changed their last name to Standish several years after they moved to the USA.
