My family surnames( Slovenian) are MEGLEN, KOCHAVER, SEVSHEK, STRUKELJ,
VIDMAR. emigrated from Struge, Dobre Polje, Potiskavec, Sv Helena,
Ravnik, Nova Vas in present day Slovenia.
I have done extensive research on the Meglen surname and found lines
in
Lake County which I have not yet connected with my own. I am
collaborating with Beverly Phillips of Las Vegas who has extensive
family connections (MEGLEN PERME documented from Richard Cowling
books). I visited the Lake County Library a year or two ago.
I think I
have materials largely GEDCOM files on MEGLEN, MEGLAN, Immigration
Passenger Lists and Census research which may be of interest.
I had
intended to print it in draft form and send it to the library but have
procrastinated thus far. I would be happy to exchange information
and
do lookups.
I have about 140 births from the 1800's principally where MEGLEN is
a
surname of parent or godparent, from the Catholic Archive's in Lubijana,
some immigration records from Passenger list which list Leadville,
Pueblo destinations? I also have a very detailed Atlas of Slovenija
which lists small hamlets of one or two farmhouses. I will do
lookups
for places/names.
