I am wondering about my grandfather’s name with the North American spelling Slepcevich. In Canada, we pronounced ‘slepsevich’. My understanding is he grew up near Zagreb, possibly north east of. Rural, farm, owned or bred, and dressed ‘Arabian similar’ horses for parade or ceremony.

Hello! I think your website is wonderful.
My last name is Šušnjara, and it’s not on the list. My family is Croatian on my father’s side. The only thing I know about this last name is that my grandpa’s parents lived in a small village called Vrpolje. There is also a village close by named Šušnjara so it might come from there, but we’re not sure.
We now live in France since my grand grandparents emigrated there, but some of the family stayed in Croatia, some also went to Canada and the United States.
Hope this helps!

My family was from Sotin, Croatia, from 1865 until the majority of them migrated out in the early 1900’s. A lot did still stay though. Their names were Szivak and Deszpoth (or Despot as I have seen it spelled in some books). Originally from Bacs-Bodrog, Hungary. My 3rd great grandparents, Istvan (Stephanus) and Anna (Szivak) Deszpoth (Despot), stayed back along with some of her brothers and sisters. There were cousins with last names Odry there as well. I don’t see them here.
