Hello. My name is Brian Glisic. I am looking for ANY information that would help learn more about my family history, surname and geneology. My grandfather (Milorad) came to the U.S. in the late 1940's. He died in 1993. I know VERY little about any of our family history and would more than appreciate any help that anyone could lend. I really have no idea where to even begin to search for any geneology information. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will look into Ellis Island, however, I believe that would only give me information from the time he arrived in the U.S. I am also VERY interested in learning about my grandfather's family previous to him coming to the U.S. My father is 58 years old and never even knew if he had any aunts or uncles. Amazing I know, but it was almost like he just left his old life behind. The only info that I have is that I know he has a son still living in Yugoslavia (a half-brother to my dad) and I do know that he had a grandson over there too but I have no name or whereabouts. If you have a suggestion as to where I can look for help on these matters I would be forever greatful.
Thank you,
Brian Glisic

If done correctly Ellis Island also registered date of birth, place of departure and other information.
This can be pivotal in finding the direction you should look at. Yugoslavia no longer excistst and the region is rather big. Please check with Ellis Island and see what they have.
