Vid Lipic Kapluv, H. 1910 25 The Lipic Family in America and Jugoslavia From what I was able to discover by my trip to yugoslavia in the summer of 1970 and by my conversation with our relatives there and in Winber, Pennsylvania, it appears that the Lipic' family lived in the village of Jusci in Croatia during the middle 1800s. At this time Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Since World War I it has been on of six of the Sicialist Republics of Jugoslavia. It appears Franjo Lipic' married Marija Grgurina, who was of Trinajstici in Croatia. They lived in Jusici where they had at least eight children; Luvik (or Viko), Ivan (or Svane), Franjo, Josip (or Joseph), Josipa (or Pepa), Marija, Ivana (orZaneta), and Cecelia (or Ciba). I was unable to discover any of the birth dates of these chidren, but it appears that Joseph was chronologically right in the middle of them all, being born in 1875. As to the dates of death, Joseph died in 1946, Franjo in 1950, and I was unable to find out about the others. As to the fates of all these Lipic children, it appears only three of them had children or grandchildre who came to the United States. Joseph himself came to America near the turn of the 20th century. He settled in St. Louis where he had 7 children, 15 grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren. Ludvig had approximately a dozen children, of these, a daughter, Antonia, married a Joseph Kukich and settled in Minnesota, where she and her children and grandchildren now live. Finally, Josipa had 4 children, 2 of whom came to America. Antonia married a Mr. Kinkela and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where her xhildren and grandchildren now live. Ivanka, or Jennie, married John Jordan and settled in the coal country of Windber, Pennsylvania. Jennie had 2 daughters: Mildred, who married Joseph Studinary, and Helen, who married Mirko Rehar. Both families currently live in Windber. As for the relatives who remained in their native land, most of them have continued to live in the rural villages around Jusici. Jusici itself is not far from Rijeka, the largeset seaport of Jugoslavia, located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The lipic village is also not far from Opatija, a famous seaside resort town. On my visit to Jugoslavia, I was the guest of Mr. Ivan Babic and his family. He has kept up a correspondence with Helen Rehar and Millie Studinary in Windber, who are still able to write and speak Croation. Ivan Babic is the grandson of Josipa Lipic, one of Joseph's [Lipic] sisters. His mother, Marija, married Ivan Babic 9nicknamed Kapic). The elder Ivan Babic served for a time in the Austro-Italian army and made his career as a construction engineer. He built many small buildings (schools, homes, etc.) by himself and with the aid of his son. Source Research by Jack Underwood From Lipic Family notes And interviews with joseph Lipic III
