You could try here I am researching the same family as well, descended from Joseph Peacock of matching essex, and Mr Burgar who's website this is has done extensive research as well as DNA testing you may be able to help each other.
burgar.net  - short address but plug that into your address bar and it works

Thank you for that link. Strange, Bill Burgar contacted me for mutual information some years ago and I responded but did not follow up. Got his address in my address book. Web site looks really informative.  :)

Graham,

I still cannot find Kosice.

Can you see it listed here http://www.fallingrain.com/world/HR/a/K?
What were the names of your wife's parents?

No, I cannot find it listed on that list. Wifes parents were Elvira (kohn) and Marko Slezinger.
Edit: This is the family...My wife's Grandparents were Adolf Slezinger & Gisela Gluck
Their children were:- Marko, (wife's father)b 20/4/1897 Kozice, Karl, Jelka, Thea, Elso & Olga who married Josip Spicer.
Wife's mother was Elvira KOHN b 7/6/1895 Novi Gradiska and she had 17 siblings, Rudolf Kolar whos prison number was found in Auschwitz, + Elza, Sidonija, Mila, Oskar Albert and ten more.

Good question. When my wife's dad met her mother, he and his family were living in Kosice - BUT, there were also reported links to Nova Gradiska.
Kosice, (I miss-spelt it in my other post) is between Zagreb and Slavonski Brod.
Yes, we have looked up the Shoah Victims website and we have been to Ozwiecim (Auschwitz) where the family perished to see if we could get any more info there. A very helpful gentleman Simon (Shimon),  did searches for us and found only my wife's uncle's prison number, but nothing for the rest - we assume they went into Auschwitz II along the road.
And, yes it is a very common name, so not high hopes if any progress.

Thanks both. Yes, Slesinger, Slezinger, Schlesinger etc etc.. :'( It is a bit of a long shot, but if my success in my maternal, scottish line results is anything to go by, long shots are a speciality on this forum.

My wife's family come from Croatia and we have found a little information about her ancestory, but and there is a big BUT, we have come to a full stop. Trouble is, she was the only survivor from the Holocaust and all (or nearly all) her family records have been lost.
Recently, we have found that her father's brother emigrated to N America from Kosica, Croatia and his father's name was Adolf, when he was about 18 years old and that would have been somewhere in the early 1900's - est. 1915-18....his surname was Slezinger and he had a daughter, who did ballet. So not a lot to go on there  :(
We do know that he emigrated to Detroit, Michigan.
So, question. Does this forum get  read in the USA? Or, is there a better (Forum) line of research that we might try?

Hi, Thanks.  As yet I can't figure out how to post to a new thread but will keep trying.  I believe they married around 1826.  I have tried scotlandspeople but not found them.   
I will keep trying.  Thanks again.

Hi Jan.
I presume you wish to start a new topic in "Scotland" - "Scotland General" - "Dumfries-shire"
If so, I have gone to where you need to start the new thread/topic, so just click on the link below and it will take you there.  ;) When you get to there, enter a subject at the top of the dialog box and then start your new topic.
Good luck.
Graham

May I give a public thank you to a valued member of this forum, who gave many hours of help in establishing my family tree (the Scottish part) records way back further than I could ever have done from my location in Essex.

Thanks a lot CSC, I am still sorting and recording all the information that you have sent me.

Graham
