I have been researching my family since 1994.  I am still at a loss for Yanko. Can anyone help me in what direction I can pursue to find my mother side of the family?  Any help will be greatly appreciated...Dave

Yanko  would be John in English.. have you looked for a John, names were Americanized  rather quickly, they didn't want to stand out.

Yes Eliz I have used John also. It is only the first 15 years in America that he is unaccounted for. I need the time before when he lived in Croatia and his family info... Thank you for your reponse...
