(69.158.10.132) https://www.saveistria.com/ Hi Istriani, I am disappointed that Istrians are so passive, fatalistic and downright scared of their own shadow. I am looking at the petition and am amazed that even you who are outside Istria and should not be intimidated by Istian politicians are afraid to sign the petition. There are some people on these istrianet forums who were born almost at the site where the factory is being build and still did not sign the petition. This is a test of your loyalty and concern about Istria's environment and the health of your relatives there. Somebody said that "God will help those that help themselves" but being passive and disinterested about the things that should matter to you the most is a sin not just stupidity. Why should there bi more signatures from around the world than from Istria? Fear of intimidation, disinterest, lack of will to fight for what is right? All of the above, I assume! Why did it take a person on a different continent to show more concern and care for what is happening to Istria and Istrians than the people that live there? What is the matter with YOU Istrians? ? https://www.saveistria.com/ Istrani, Jako sam razocaran da su Istrani tako pasivni, fatalisticki nastrojeni, I strase se svoje vlastite sijene. Gledam tu peticiju I ne mogu vijerovati da cak vi koji ste izvan Istre I nebi smjeli biti intimidirani of istarskih politicara bojite se potpisati tu peticiju. Ima ljudi na tim istianet forumima koji su se rodili pokraj mjesta gdje se gradi ta tvornica I jos uvijek niste potpisali tu peticiju. To je ispit vaseg lojalnosti I brige za istarski okolis I zdravlje vase rodbine koja jos uvijek tamo zivi. Netko je jednom rekao: "Bog pomaze onima koji sami sebi pomognu", ali biti pasivan I nezainteresiran o stvarima koja bi trebala vama biti od najvece vaznosti nije samo grijeh nego i glupost. Zasto ima vise potpisanih iz cijelog svijeta nego is Istre (pogotovo Labinstine). Strah od intimidacije, nezaintersiranost, manjak volje da se borite za pravdu? Vijerojatno svi ti faktori. Zasto je trebalo da jedna osoba sa jednog durgog kontinenta pokaze vise brige za ono sto se dogadja u Istri nego ljudi koji tamo zive? Koji vam je Vrag Istrani?
Pino <pgolja@msn.com> - (66.166.237.154) I repeat my recommendations and this time with one c only and
double m. Bye My best wishes to Ray (Raimondo) and his mother. We met on the plane (a BAE
146 , little four jet engines plane) from Tampere (Finland) to Copenhagen in the
afternoon of Friday 15 Septmber 2006. His was for job in Finland, visiting a
factory of his company : A big company working in hidraulics field. His wife was
waiting him for a nice week end in Goteborg (Sweden). He is about thirty six (
if I rememeber well)and is from Cleveland (Ohio) It was a simpathetic meeting.
After speaking a little bit we found that I was born in Pola and his Mother in
Fiume. She is sixtyfive and ….. she eats in not so proper way. So Ray told me.
My reccomandations to Ray's mother (I do not know her name) to eat more
vegetables and less bread and pasta. To be less lazy and viceversa to prepare
nice mixed salades for herself and replace bread with other things e.g wasa
crackers. Siora la staghi ben, take care, and my best Xmas wishes ( even if it
is so far) to her, Ray and all you family. Giorgio Paliaga Sesto Calende

discendenti di una sorella di tale Maria Bratulich di nome Antonia. Lei si sposó
col capitano Petar Ferencich (quello che trovó il tesoro dei Karageorgevich a

Fantastic job! I just wanted to add a link for people who are interested in
looking for their property online. Croatia provides the following for use: www.pravosudje.hr
and www.katastar.hr. You will need to know the Croatian variant of the village name. You will
also need to be sufficiently proficient in Croatian to manage the system.
Finally, you need to know the deed numbers to do the check. However, this is a
great webpage if you want to confirm whether your property is registered in your
name.

Salve, il mio nome é Valentina Delzotto, ho 23 anni e discendo dai Delzotto
di Dignano ("Terere").
Sono nata a Torino, attualmente vivo in Spagna da piú di 13 anni, e queste
sono le mie origini: Mio nonno si chiama Giuseppe (Pino) Delzotto, ed é nato a
Dignano nel 32. Sua mamma, la mia bisnonna, si chiamava Domenica Rocco, nata
anche lei a Dignano nel 1906, e se non sbaglio sua madre era di Pola, nata nel
1985. La mia Bisnonna aveva due fratelli, uno dei quali si chiamava Leonardo
Rocco. Il figlio di quest'ultimo se non sbaglio si chiamava anche lui Leonardo,
ed era dunque il nipote del mia bisnonna. Si faceva chiamare Dino, ed emigró in
Canada, anche se non so in che anno. Ho una sua foto del 1958 scattata
probabilmente in Canada o negli USA...ed é lui o i suoi figli o nipoti che sto
cercando...LEONARD ROCCO. Infine il mio bisnonno si chiamava Giovanni Delzotto
(conosciuto come "Frere"), il quale purtroppo é mancato poco prima della mia
nascita. Mio padre, figlio di Giuseppe Delzotto e di Luigina Fracchia, si chiama
Roberto Delzotto. Ho anche un fratello di nome Federico, nato nel 1986, e una
sorellina di nome Sofia nata quest'anno.
Vi prego di aiutarmi a contattare con la mia famiglia in Canada, purtroppo
non li conosco personalmente e vorrei tanto sapere che fu di loro... Un saluto,

I just wanted to say hi to all the Istrians out there. I've been on this site
many times but never wrote anything. I just came back from Istria and had a
great time. It's so beautiful there. The last time I was there was 5 years ago,
and I didn't realize how much I missed it. My mom is from Plomin Luka and my dad
is from Zupanici. Lots of family there, so it was great to spend time with them.
My two boys (3 and 6) loved it there and are still crying to go back. Oh well,
until next year.

Davvero complimenti per questo bellissimo Sito che avete creato ! Vi auguro
di continuare così ad espanderVi sempre più. Ho trovato particolarmente
interessante la parte dedicata ai cognomi istriani. Vi ho trovato anche quello
della mia bisnonna paterna Maria ONGARO.
A proposito , qualcuno mi potrebbe aiutare a sapere qualcosa di piu' sulle
origini di questo cognome? Nel Sito ho trovato una pagina che contiene tutti i
cognomi della regione Istriana con relativa speigazione , ma è tutta in
Serbo-Croato e sarei davvero riconoscente se qualcuno mi inviasse una
traduzione. Ancora complimenti e d un affettuoso abbraccio da Firenze !

Hi to everyone, I came across your website today and I am truly excited to have found it. I hope that someone will be able to drop me an email as I am looking for any relatives with the surname of Linardon or Sirotich/Siroti. My grandmother Giuseppina (Pina) Sirotich was born in the town of Sovignaco in 1906 and my grandfather Giovanni Linardon was born in Montona in 1906 as well. I belive that Nono was 1 in 9 children and his sisters names were Augusta, Maria and Carmina, unfortunately I don't have the names of his brothers. Nona had 2 sisters and one of their names were Albina.
My parents don't have access to the internet and were quite excited when I told them about this website and the possibility of contacting some relatives, as they have lost contact with them over the years.I also look forward to learning more about Istria as I go along.
Thank you

Although this may be a long-shot, I am hoping to reach someone who may have information
regarding the fate of my grandfather, Karlo Vidovic of Poljane. In October of 1944, he
was arrested by the Nazis in Icici, and then was sent to Dachau. Like so many other
innocent people during World War II, he never returned home to his wife and children.
Although my Nonna Franica did receive information that he was seen alive during the
camp's liberation in 1945, his whereabouts thereafter remain a complete mystery. Next
year I plan on visiting Dachau, in an attempt to find additional information. In the
meantime, the web-sites which I have visited have not helped me to uncover anything new.
If there is anyone who has information regarding the eventual fate of my grandfather,
Karlo Vidovic, born in 1911, Poljane, last seen in Dachau, 1945, please e-mail me.
Thank you in advance, Sandy Alice Vidovic

I now live in Scotland, via USA but have family back in Koper and Bertoki and Trieste and Milan. I've been to visit last summer and our homeland is beautiful beyond compare!

I forgot to mention in my last email my parent's date of birth if it helps to recognise their names. Giovanni Antoni nato 24 June 1929 and Anna Plessa nata 17 September 1930.

Today I took the time to read some of this fabulous site and would like to mention that my father (Giovanni "Nini" Antoni, figlio di Francesca, fratello di Bruna, Livia, Beppi, Claudio) was born in Pola and my mother (Anna Plessa figlia di Maria, sorella di Roberto, Pino) was born in Lusin Piccolo. If anyone out there was recognise these people I would love to hear from you.

Could you possibly mean "Joh Peternell age 26 coming over in 1892???" If
so, click here. You
might be in luck (grin). DeeDee wrote: is there any Basiacco? my grandfather Giuseppe Basiacco moved from

While I was perusing the Ellis Island immigration records, I came across a
relative of yours (possibly a close one, too). Was Giuseppe related to someone
named Anton Basiaco? Anton lists his ethnicity as both Austrian and Croatian. He
was 25 years old when he departed for the U.S., arriving on October 7th, 1907.
He sailed on "La Gascogne," a French flag vessel, from Le Havre to New York.

researching your family tree to see which of your relatives came to the U.S.
through the Ellis Island Immigration Center in New York between 1892-1924, you
might want to take advantage of the free membership option with the Ellis
Island Foundation. Click
https://www.ellisisland.org/membership/wme_3.asp?login_targ=none to apply online. But be careful (grin), they might try to "sell" you their
"full" membership package. Free membership allows you access to information on
immigrant arrivals. Paid membership probably has other percs but I'm not certain
what they are. After you join, you can visit their main website
https://www.ellisisland.org to perform passenger searches
by name. Regards, J. Alec West hi guys!
(I'm italian, and yes,i know my english is awful!)
is there any Basiacco? my grandfather Giuseppe Basiacco moved from Buje

John Peternell was in the 1910 census at Castle Gate Prec., Carbon Co.,
Utah . John married my grandmother, Virginia Blasig, “married shows, Blasig
Virginia on July 15, 1902 in Kemmerer. Since he was a miner, he seemed to travel
from different mines. 1st child was born in Colorado in 1903, 2nd child, my dad,
was born in 1904, in Utah, 3rd child was born in Kemmerer, Wyoming in 1905, and
daughter was born in 1907, back in Colorado. John would be somewhere in the 1900
Census, since the 1910 census shows that he came here in 1894. I can’t find him
though. He died in 1911 in Kemmerer, Wyoming and is buried there, I do have
photo of his grave stone .On Tyrol my sister had said he was but I have no proof
that he was I have been trying to find out where was born, I do not have his
immigration record I wish I could find in the Ellis island ship records it show
a Jho Peternell age 26 coming over in 1894 and that was the age of John at that
time. I have a family tree on john at peternellfamilyplace.com Thank You.

If anyone wishes to communicate with me, you are most welcome. I speak read and write Istrianski and Italian.
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
