My family name was originally Poljak. It appears my family dates back to 1900; when my great-grandparents Katarina and Tomasina sent their 3 sons to the USA from Grzcaki.Ivan Poljak, one of the boys, was my grandfather.
Hi Joe,
We may go way way back. My grandfather, Ivan (John) Miholovich’s grandmother was Katerina (sp?) Poljak. My grandfather was from Lepetane, Boka Kotorska along the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, former Yugoslavia which was AustriaHungary back then. He had 3 brothers. His father was Matthew Miholovich. Their father Vogdan (or Bogdan) was married to Katarina Poljak. This was probably 1830’s or around that time in which they married.
