Our grandfather, Joseph Krayina came to America from Croatia. People assumed he was from Krajina, but it didn’t exist until 1991, and he came to America through Ellis Island around 1880. Can you tell me anything about the Croatian, Krayina’s and what area of Croatia they lived in prior to 1991. May are saying they are Serbian, but my grandfather would have known if he was Croatian or Serbian – Can you shed any light on this?
Thank you.
