The last name Visosevic appears on several entries at Ancestry,
.com My husband’s paternal great-grandmother was Anna Visosevic perhaps from Kalje. She was married to Petar Jelenic. There are others in the US immigration records with this same last name. I would like to know if this is in fact a discrete name or a variation of a different surname. Thank you for all of you genealogy work.
Our surname is Veselica which became Veseliza in the USA. We are from istra croatia specifically from labin.
Also the name bratovic and Fabac which were on my mothers side. She is also from istra but more from the Porec side
I have just seen your post from 20 Nov 2014. My husband’s family are from Istra and specifically, have the name Fabac or Fabaz in their history. Are you interested in collaborating?
I would be happy for you to email me at the above address.

I am on a very long journey to try and find my mother’s relatives. She was born Jun 1942 in Pula. At some point during WW2-she was sent to an orphanage (even thats difficult as she doesn’t remember where she was sent or what country )for a very long time until adopted in the US in 1951. I located her ship manifest and shows her last name as Varesco. As I understand, Pula was occupied by many Italians..so my search has come up to very little as I am trying to understand the culture of Pula and how Italians lived there with their Italian names and migrations. I know that many people, when migrating to America or other countries changed their names slightly. With that..was her last name really Varesco? I want to find our relatives and know a side of our family missing. I have to say-this is quit overwhelming in trying to trace my mother’s roots.
My mother’s maiden name was Vancas, both parents came from Croatia. I do not see the name.
My great great grandfather’s name was translated to Willowatz but was pronounced like Vil-yeh-votz. I have his immigration record to USA but I want to learn more. I know his mother was taken by Nazis during WWII and she had renarried. I have no idea how to correctly spell his last name.
