Hello, all!

Here are four pdf files that chart and describe our 
Crnkovich/Crnković/Cernković/Czernkovich and Rubetić/Vučinovec 
ancestors:

Crnkovich descendants to 10 generations: The descendants of Mato 
Czernkovich to 10 generations

Rubetić descendants to 7 generations: The descendants of Juraj Rubetić 
to 7 generations. This list overlaps the Crnkovich descendants in the 
fifth generation.

I have a lot more information than what is in these summaries, 
especially on those people who were [un]lucky enough to get their names 
in the newspapers or in books. Nearly all of the sources from the Old 
Country  are in Croatian, Latin, German, and occasionally in Hungarian. 
They include church records, city directory information, cemetery 
records and the like. I have some obituaries and encyclopedia entries, 
as well. Of those I have translations of pieces about Cvjetko Rubetić, 
the Zagreb Cathedral canon and Croatian M.P., for Julije Gollner, and 
for Branko Gršković. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to finish 
transcribing the recorded conversation I had with my grandmother 
(Dragica Vučinovec-Crnkovich) in the 1970's, nor time to translate the 
parts that are in Croatian.

I have files on many of the ancestors that include everything I've been 
able to find about individuals. I have especially numerous files for 
Cvjetko Rubetić and the Ivanić/Zagreb relatives in the 19th-20th 
centuries. I also have quite a few photographs. The information is 
organized by person, but within each person's file there's little 
organization.

You can see that we have plenty of cousins and other relatives in 
Croatia on the Rubetić/Vučinovec side, in Ivanićgrad and Zagreb. 
Unfortunately, the Crnković clan name has died out in Croatia and there 
is only one direct descendant of that family, Gordan Karlić in Zagreb. 
There are, however, some very, very distantly related Crnković's in 
Viduševac near Glina.

All in all, the family history is filled with much more interesting 
material than one can convey in summaries and charts, including 
demotions in the army for bar fights, Buchenwald survivors, Napoleonic 
wars, gutsy moves to America, parties at the vineyard, and unanticipated 
half-siblings. Stay tuned....

I'm sorry that I'll miss some of you in Lancaster next month, but am 
looking forward to talking too much to those of you whom I will see.

Take care,

Uncle Denis

P.s. I am not sure of some of the information on the charts, especially 
after my generation, so please send me corrections and additions so I 
can correct them. That way when some historian writes the history of our 
"illustrious" family sometime in the 22nd century the information will 
be correct.
