Researching: PAVESIC
I am looking for any relatives of my father who left Czechozlovakia in 1950 and arrived Australia Jan 1951. My father was born Michal Milan Pavesic at Zahorska Ves on 24th April 1927. He grew up on his parents farm on the Morava river. His parents would now be deceased but he had one much older sister. She married and it is difficult to find any remaining relatives because I do not know the surname of her husband and children. I believe her christian name is either Emma or Maria - her husband's chrisitian name is Rudi and her children were named Elenka, Olinka and Val. I would be interested to hear any information about them. I understand there are still several people with my father's surname "Pavesic" residing in Zahorska Ves, and though not immediate family may due to their association through common name - have some information about my family. I hope to be able to contact them when I have a suitable interpreter. I live in Australia. Visit the Ancestry.com Pavesic Family Facts Database.
