George M. Ziz married Katherine (Katie) Stiglich and immigrated to America in 1882 and settled in Biloxi, Mississippi
I need help with more information on family in Cres.

Please, help me settle a family bet as to how to correctly pronounce the Croatian name Zagar. Thank you.

My grandmother’s maiden name was Zagar. My father pronounced it with a hard Z and long A–but I think that was very Americanized.
C. Zagar / 9-28-2016 / ·
The correct spelling is Žagar (with a diacritic, or little “v” over the “Z”).
It is pronounced (like Zsa Zsa Gabor) Zsa-gar
It means “someone who cuts wood” (Žaga is a “saw”).

I am looking for the family ZNIDAREC or ZNIDARIC from Croatia. The person I am looking for used several first names Johann, Jan and Giovanni (when in Trieste in 1914).He was born in 1875. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Patricia,
No, your dad pronounced the name correctly. It’s pronounced exactly how it’s written. Actually, the second A shouldn’t be too long, I’m from the town of Zadar and I hear it pronounced as Zadaaaaar in English, but should be Zadar. Hope this hels.
