I have some letters that were sent to my Aunt Mary VISNICH Ham back in 1955 from a cousin in Zrenjanin. Yugoslavia Talking about the Grubisich/Grubish/Grubis Family hard to read the writing. The letters were in envelopes that came from Bend Ore. Not sure if they were sent to Joe L. Jackich to be interrupted before coming to my Aunt or they could be a male friend to the cousin because in one of the letters cousin states the person she is corresponding with sent her money and 3 combs for the boys and nylons for herself. The relationship sprang up through a relationship from a co-worker at the hospital. In 1954 this cousin’s father died July 18 and was buried July 19.
Here are some names that were mentioned in the letters
Grubich or Grubish or Grubis
Ivoca or Ivica the oldest son his wife Ljnbica their son Nenad or Neska
Duške the second son his wife Ranka
the third son Branko or Bronko
Lusu or Lulu or Lela
2 brothers Iva and Ivka
The letters are signed Your Cousin Slavka and Sincerely Dejan Savin
They also sent packages to each other The cousin wrote in one of the letter “Those articles the we wouldn’t need we could give to our people in Zitiste, whom you know.
Not much to go on. My Dad in 89 and I have been trying to find a connection for him. He is interested in finding out about his family. Thanks for listening Claudia Visnich
