Steve Stimac was my grandfather. Son of Bartol and Theresa. He was married to Caroline Sopina from Ashland, WI. Steve is buried in our cemetery here in Washburn, Wi. I'm trying to find information on Bartol and Teresa's siblings and parents.

We probably do not talk about the same person, but I've checked my family tree and found Ana Stimac born in 1884. Only she was married to Tone Osmak and died in 1933.

Stimac, Spanovica

Is anyone related to Stimac family from Spanovica, Croatia?

I believe that the Ivan Milo Stimac that you are talking about might be my grandfather who was supposedly born in Kansas City< KS on November 1, 1898.

Hi, I think we are family.....My grandmother was born Ivana Stimac (born in 1914, from Crni Lug). Her mother was Antonija Raukar. I'm not sure who Eva was. My grandmother had 11 brothers and sisters.

Hi, my brother, Thomas Kucinick, was communicating with you through ancestry.co.uk in January 2005. A month later, Tom passed away. I'm trying to complete what he and I started together. We were trying to trace our ancestry back then, but of course when he passed away our communication ended. My husband has family in Italy and I'm hoping my grandfather in Croatia. I'm trying to see if there are any relatives of ours in Croatia b/c we plant to go there in the next year or so to visit. I'd love to find our if I have some cousins there. Eva Stimac Raukar was our Great-grandmother's name.
Any help with the Kucinick or Raukar name would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mickey Kucinick Muin

Funny, my great grandmother is Ana (Stimec) Zagar born in 1884. Did Stimacs marry Zagars?

I am looking for Anton Stimac and Ana Kovac from the middle 1800's (since Ana was born in 1884)

Any info I would appreciate!

Hello Tim,

Can you contact me at dsueandrews@yahoo.com
I would like to email you information on your great grandfather George Stimac's brothers. Thanks, Diane Stimac Andrews

dsueandrews — 2009-07-28 14:59:04Z

Hello,

My grandparents Joseph (Josip) and Antonia Stimac who originated from Crnilug, Croatia came through Ellis Island in 1906 and 1923 respectively. They located in Joliett, Illinois and then moved to Shingleton, Michigan.

I am trying to find more information about their parents who I think remained in Croatia. I think my great grandparents name was Franjo (Frank) and Apollonia (Pauline) Stimac. Not sure how to find more information about them from the Croatia Church records? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you kindly. My email is dsueandrews@yahoo.com

My name is Diane Stimac Andrews and I live in Michigan.

Re: Stimac Family?

dsueandrews — 2009-07-27 21:45:41Z

Hello Tim,

I am a relative of the Stimac's from Shingleton. My grandfather was Joseph Stimac married to Antonia Stimac. They are buried in Maple Grove Cemetery. Joseph & Antonia had two children - Raymond & Dorothy. I am Ray's daughter Diane Andrews. My email address is: dsueandrews@yahoo.com

Hope to hear from you.

Re: Stimac, Joseph L and Antonia

RobertJerin — 2009-06-23 01:23:24Z

Was your Raymond and orphan? If find a Raymond STIMAC living at Holy Family Orphanage at Marguette MI in 1930. He is 9 years old. On the line above him is Dorothy STIMAC age 7. Is this your family?

STIMAC is said as shteemats... and comes from a German word for 'tuner" as in one who tunes watches.

I find a WW I Draft Registration for Joseph STIMAC in Alger County MI listing next of kin as Andrew STIMAC living at Shingleton MI I see not date for when he registered but these were done 1917-1918

Name: Joseph Stemac
County: Alger
State: Michigan
Birth Date: 15 Oct 1898

and then another!

Name: Joseph Stimac
County: Alger
State: Michigan
Birthplace: Croatia;Austria
Birth Date: 15 May 1897
Next of kin John STIMAC at Dalmazia which is Dalmatia Croatia which is a region.

And yet another! But this time he lists his next of kin as his wife Mary living in Europe

Name: Joseph Stimach
County: Alger - Shingleton
State: Michigan
Birth Date: 25 Feb 1884
Occupation Woodsman

It would not be a surprise that they immigrated seperately... this was the case in about 99% of families

Do you have more info about Joseph L. (Croatians do not have middle names!) and Antonia? How about date of birth? Date of death? where in Croatia they are from? etc, etc... I did find several manifests for women named Antonija or Tonica STIMAC and found a few going to Houghton MI all came from Crni Lug (translates to Black Forest)

teri1951 — 2009-06-19 23:15:00Z

My great grandparents were Vecenca Stimac of Crnilug, Croatia married to Evan Maras of Sunger, Croatia. I believe they immigrated to the USA through Ellis Island, where the name was changed to Morris.

They had 8 children: Annie, Frank, John, Mary, Nina, Veronica, William, and Pete (my grandfather, dob 15 Feb, 1894). I don't know who was born in Croatia and who in USA, or whether any retain the family name of Maras.

Grandpa Pete married Augusta Blazina (dob 7 Oct, 1898). Grandma Gusta's parents were Anton Blazina, of Vrata, Croatia (1864-1947), and Matejka Klobuchar of Vrata (1865-1936).

Grandpa Pete also worked in the coal mines as a young man. The family eventually settled in Iowa (Appanoose Co.)

If anyone has any of these names in their family tree I would appreciate any further information. The entirety of my knowledge is in this post.

Stimac, Joseph L and Antonia

Meaning of STIMAC

RobertJerin — 2008-11-03 22:07:46Z

The surname STIMAC (which sounds like shteemahts) is from the German word stimer, which is "one who tunes or adjusts"

mjakimier — 2008-05-05 03:24:53Z

Hello. My maternal Grandfather, Leo (b. 1911, d. 1993, both in Springfield, IL) was the son of Steven MIHELCIC (changed to MIHELSIC in Leo's generation) and Mary MALNAR. Steven was from Lokve (then Austric, now Croatia). My Mary MALNAR was born Oct. 22, 1884 (Crni Lug or Mrzla Vodice, Croatia - then Austria), and died Oct. 15, 1969 (Springfield, IL).

I was last in Lokve, Mrzla Vodice and Crni Lug, Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia, formerly formerly Austro-Hungarian Empire) in 2003, and saw MANY graves in the town cemetaries with headstone surnames MALNAR, PINTAR and STIMAC. There were still Croatian families with these surnames in Springfield, IL, when I began family history research there in the early 1980s. Many of the older folks have died in the interim decades.

I would suggest folks with these surnames explore the Mormom Family History microfiche archives for these three Croatian villages.

I would be happy to hear of additional information anyone may have regarding the MALNAR or MIHELCIC/MIHELSIC names referenced above. Hvala! Mary

Thanks Kathy,
I've googled Wicksey and got strange results and interesting results, but nothing that links any of them to us. There was a lot that came up on church records in the 1800's for Warwickshire in England..don't know if this helps at all (did discover that I was not the first Sarah Wicksey!!!). Feel free to email me at sjwebber@iprimus.com.au if you like.

Hi,
My maiden name is also Wicksey. I know little about my family and am wanting to find out more. We are in Australia, mostly Western Australia, although I am now in Queensland. My Father was Raymond John Wicksey (10/01/1951-20/5/2001) and his father was John Wicksey. He was married to Jean Wicksey (nee Harrison). They have five children, Raymond, Cheryl, Peter, Kathleen, and Grace. Cheryl and Kathleen are the only ones still alive. Apparently my grandfather's (John) family was from England. Let me know if you know any more about your family or mine (which may be yours and mine!)

My name is Susan Gaspard Campbell and I am first cousin to Vicki Derry's mother. Vicki wanted me to post that her e-mail address has changed to vikkadee@msn.com. We are doing Stimac research in the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan. Another cousin, Ed Corcoran, is working on our line of the family history. The Stimac brothers, William (1873-1956), Philip (1878 - 1953), Anton (1881-1942) and Blas (1886-1972?) came from Lokve, Croatia, and first settled in the Calumet area of the UP. Vicki and I are descended from Philip Stimac. Ed Corcoran is descended from William Stimac. We would love to hear from anyone related to this Stimac branch of the family.
