Often times we envision Croatia as our ancestors left it. However, today people dress, live and work much as we do in the US. The Croatian folkdress, or nos"nja as the Croatians call it, is a historic part of village life. Each village had its own unique style. This colorful clothing would be worn for weddings, baptisms, festivals, religious days, while for everyday wear a much plainer clothing was the norm. This link shows only a small fraction of the hundreds of folkdress. Click on a town and you will see the nos"nja for that town.

Often times when viewing old documents the handwriting can be hard to read. Some letters such as L and S are often mistaken for one another. This can be a problem and cause us to bypass potential ancestors found in handwritten documents. Here is a link to some info and examples of how strange some handwriting can be.

The LDS Church (Mormon) Family History Library has a surname search feature which will lead to an IGI data base of names as well as a US Social Security Death Index listing. Just a note of caution: if you come across a surname for which someone has compiled a family tree be aware that it may NOT be the person or persons you are looking for. Also never take someone else's work as accurate. You need to verify and confirm any such information you may receive. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
Was the family name changed at Ellis Island? This did not happen! Most immigrant ship manifests contain the original spelling, thus name changes occurred afterwards.
http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library/article.aspx?article=4675
Locating records
When searching, we need to "think in Croatian" and to remain flexible and aware that maybe the spelling we have is not correct OR that someone recording/transcribing the name made errors. To make you aware of some things I have found, I wrote an article for Olive Tree.
http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/2005/01/oddities-of-searching-ellis-island.html
The USGenWeb Project is a good place for your search in the US. US GenWeb is a group of volunteers working to provide websites for genealogical research in every county and every state of the United States.

Without a doubt the online Ellis Island records have been a real boon to our family history search. And the best web site for your Ellis Island search is by Stephen P. Morse. It offers a variety of ways to search: by date, by ship, or by just the first few letters of the last name.
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB/ellis.html
From 1892 on, Ellis Island (New York) was the main entry port for our ancestors. However, a small portion did arrive at other ports, such as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and Galveston, Texas. The Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild has an ongoing project to transcribe ship manifest records. While their web page does not allow the viewing of original ship manifest images, you will at least be able to search for the name and, if listed, the date of arrival and ship name.
http://www.immigrantships.net/
The Texas Seaport Museum also has an immigrant ship arrival database for the Port of Galveston, TX, which you can access at no charge.

In the days before insurance and social security, immigrants sought ways to ensure they would not burden their families in case of death. Fraternal societies performed this function along with being a way to maintain their culture and some contact with the homeland. The Croatian Fraternal Union of America was one such organization. They can also be a resource for records of your ancestors. The Croatian Catholic Union has merged in recent years with CFU.

Louisiana was among one of the first states settled by Croatians, where they are credited with the establishment of the oyster fishing business. Today in New Orleans and down river in the Mississippi delta region their descendants can still be found.
