The purpose of this site it to promote my Slovenian Heritage and genealogy research. You will find the most information pertaining to the Slovenian Settlements in Willard Wisconsin and Waukegan Illinois because that is where my ancestors settled after coming to America.
But you will also find information which will be useful for anyone doing genealogy research.

I have posted 4 of the speachs that were presented at the "Bridging Our Worlds" conference put on by the SLOVENIAN GENEALOGY SOCIETY of AMERICA and of SLOVENIA and in cooperation with the Gottscheer Heritage and Genealogy Association Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies Conference & Seminars. This seminar was held at the Grand Hotel Union in Ljubljana, Slovenia on September 8 through 14, 2001.
"Prvotno besedilo Zivljenja" (The Primary Wording of Life)" by Alenka Puhar.
is the most relentless and hearbreaking documentation about childhood in Slovenia in 19th century. She wrote about children (children lived without love, they were hungry, beaten, terrorized, they had to work, they had no rights,...farmhands-born to be farmhands), births (women died during and after the birth), mortality (a lot of children died in the first year of life), women (woman was a prime donne between livestock), superstitions, houses, food, bad hygiene, circumstances in the country,...
I can only say, that we are descendants of the most firmly clinging to life and tenacious children. (besides wars, plague, epidemics, starvations)
