I am looking for information on my G.Grandparents.His name was NOVICA HINIC b.1881. Her name was JOVANKA STANISIC b.1885.US census of 1910 shows natualization dates as 1903 and 1904 respectively. It also says that they were born in Austria but spoke Serbian. They settled in Chicago Illinois USA and belonged to the Serbian Orthodox church. I have tried all the usual sites(Ellis Is,Ancestry,etc)with no luck. I would appreciate any assistance.
What did Ellis Island tell you exactly?
Regards,
Sergej
Look for HINIĆ ancestors in records of Serbs of Croatia, from the Slavonija region (this was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire back then, and many ethnic Serbs lived there).
For any additional help, you would have to find out their place of origin - what is listed as place of birth in their naturalization documents?
