Title: From Dalmatian Yugoslavia (Croatia) to Northland New Zealand
Post by: huriteAO on Wednesday 27 June 18 11:08 BST (UK)

Tony Matijasevic (Matijasevich) born 03 May 1922 (not 100% certain) in Korcula - Croatia (known as Dalmatian Yugoslavia at the time).

Mother- Anna Rudolph; Father - Rudi Matijasevic

Family arrived in NZ around 1923-28 (when Tony was about 6 years), including brothers George, Max & Jimmy.
 
Settled in Northland. For some reason, Tony was raised by the Mathias family,  George went to the Yuri family and no idea where Max and Jimmy went.

Tony died in Rotorua, New Zealand 14 Feb 2005.

Daughter has been to Croatia twice. Set to go again in 3months. Wanting to connect with heritage more fully while there.

ALSO want to connect with Tony's brother's families (New Zealand)

All contributions greatly appreciated

There is also a query on FB on the NZ Super Sleuths page

We were unable to find the 2005 death mentioned

Cheers Janette
