RE: my grandfather: Serbian KOCIC ? - KOZIC ? - GEORGIJ became KOSITCH, GEORGE in America
Where -- in Serbia -- did our Family Name or Tribe come from ?
Is KOZIC the correct spelling of my grandfather's Serbian Family name and
tribe ?
G'pa was born in Hungary - Medina (Tolna county)
-- his parents names were translated as: JOVAN and TIJANA ... I know nothing more of my great-grand-parents.
... from Old Slavonic Serbian Orthodox christening record of 1878 ...
the Hungarian Archivist could not accurately translate the spelling of my
paternal grandfather's family (tribe) name
-- 1878 Church record = KOZIC, GEORGIJ, GEORGII
-- 1904 ship = KOSZICS, GYORGY - Magyarized on German manifest
-- 1910 US Census = KOSEITCH, KOSSITCH, KOZSITCH, George
-- 1920 US Census = KOSITCEITCH, KOSITEEICH, George
-- 1930 US Census = KOSITCH, George
