Yugoslavia: Looking for Anthony Major b. 1885
« on: Sunday 01 December 19 11:39 GMT (UK) »
Hello. I am looking for Anthony Major/Anton Majer born June 12, 1885.

Here is what I have found so far:
 
1930 U.S. Census finds him living in Fairmont, St. Clair County, Illinois, USA. It lists him as being born in Austria in 1884. Parents also born Austria. Native language Croatian. Immigrated in 1910. Married 18 years. Alien.
1920 Census -(Tony & Annie Madger) same information but lists native tongue as Bohemian & immigration as 1901.

Find A Grave data:
Born June 12, 1885, died Feb. 5, 1931. Parents were Michael & Eva Stelich Major. Anthony married Anna Ziaza/Jiaja ? b. 1886 Austria.

Illinois Death Index:
Name:Anthony Major Birth Date:13 Jun 1885 Birth Place: Jugo, Slavia
Father Name:Michael Major Father Birth Place: Jugo, Slavia Mother Name:Eva Stelich Mother Birth Place: Jugo, Slivia
Comments:resident 12y in U.S.A.

There are 3 different immigration years listed. The only immigration record I could find has the following data-
Anton Majer: Arrival Dec. 1911. Age 26, Last Residence- Bohemia Ship- Willehad, Port of Arrival Baltimore, Maryland, Destination Cleveland Ohio, Nationality- Austria Hungary, Race Bohemian, last country lived in Bohemia, City/Town Vlahinička, Father Anton Majer, Bohemia, Ludvina, Croatia.
I cannot decipher all of page 2. He goes to his brother in laws home in Saylor, Ohio.

Thank you for any information you may find on the Anthony Major family.

Correction- Destination is to Dayton Ohio, not Saylor.
