I know very little about my
ancestors from my father's side, since he himself never knew his father. |
Nobody in my family can
help me finding my roots, so here is my "cry for help" that
should go worldwide. |
In the middle of
the page is my father's picture that was shot when he was some 4 y.o. |
His name was Leon
and he was born on June,23.1920 in Logatec
(10) (Dolenji
Logatec) but his mother moved to a small town
Žiri (11) when
he was a small baby.
He attended primary school in Žiri
and then moved with his mother again - this time to the village Polje
(12) near Vodice
(13), some 10
miles NE from Ljubljana.
My father died on July,03.1975
in Ljubljana and is buried in Ljubljana.
All the places mentioned here are marked
at the map of Slovenia with blue marks and associated numbers. |
My Father at the age
of four (or so) |
My granny Marija (my father's
mother) married Jože Burnik (my father's step-father) and they lived in
Polje since. The date of their marriage is also unknown to me.
They had another
two children of their own: Sonja (1930) and (Jože - ). Sonja
lives in Polje(12) - her birthplace, while Jože moved
(emigrated) to Germany in 1958 and has been living in Oberhausen since.
My granny died
in 1961 and is buried in Ljubljana, while I know nothing about her man Jože.
I only know he died even earlier. |
