Croatian genealogy seminar comes to Denver
Have you ever wondered about your Croatian roots? Why did your
family leave Croatia? Why did they choose to come to America? How
did they live in Stari Kraj? Who were their parents and
grandparents? Did they have any brothers or sisters? Are their any
relatives in Europe? Was your name changed at Ellis Island? These
are the kinds of topics we will be discussing in the genealogy
seminar and showing you how to go about getting answers to the
questions above.
Some folks from the Denver, Colorado area have requested a seminar.
These seminars are always fun and informative with nearly everyone
going away with new information about their Croatian genealogy and
how to find their personal family information. Some even go away
with specific information about their family!
Our next seminar is planned for Saturday, March 20th, from 8:30 AM to
4: 30 PM. We will be covering the following topics.
History of Croatia and origins of Croatians
How our ancestors lived in the “old country”
Croatian immigration to America and the journey to America,
How to get started with your family tree
The do’s and don’ts of genealogy
How to translating Croatian records
How to locate records such as birth records, marriage records, death
records, census records in the US and in Croatia
Translation of given names (with Croatian, English, Italian and
Latin), Meaning
Meaning of surnames and categories of surnames

During the seminar we will demonstrate the value of the internet in
doing family research online.
