Petar Lovre (Grandfather of this part of the family) and 2 cousins (I think) came from Croation(Croatia) to Bragana, Austria to Southhampton England where they sailed for New York's Ellis Island. They arrived on Oct. 3, 1912 with less that $50 US each. All three had been sponsored by uncle Paul Lovre. All three continued their journey to Trafford, Pa. Petar was 18 yo at the time and stood 5'7" tall. His male cousin (Moyan) was also 5'7" and their female companion (cousin) was Genavica Anton who stood 5'6" tall. Their ship was the Majestic (built in 1890). This information and their signatures are available at the Ellis Island Foundation web site for free. See LINKS.
