Gjiero is not a name. The correct spelling (which is shown on the manifest) is Gjuro, which translates to George. He arrived 1901 not 1902. Destination is Pittsburg PA to

Also in re to the name BEZIAK it may have been BEZJAK as there seem to be no records of BEZIAK but plenty of BEZJAK.

There is a ship manifest arr at NY (Ellis Island) for Maria (mistranscribed as Mario) BEZJAK single age former residence Stativ (there are 2 places called Stativ in Croatia both near Netretic, they are Gornje (upper) and Donji (lower) Stativ. Her destination was to a sister, Jela (Helen) in Michigan she arrived July 1910.

Netretic was one of the place I stopped with my Croatian History and Genealogy tour group October 2007.

Both BEG and BEZJAK appear in the parish records for Zavrsje, which is the church for Netretic.

My Grandfather George Beg came to the U.S. via Ellis Island in 1902. He was from Netretic Croatia. He settled in northern Michigan and died very young of minors comsumption. The name was eventually changed to Beck, but we do not know when or how. We are looking for other Beg family who may be decendents of Grandfathers siblings or other family members. Thank you.

My Grandfather came to the USA in 1902 from Netretic Croatia. His name was Gjiero Beg. He settled in northern Michigan and married Mary Beziak, also from Croatia. The name was later changed to George Beck. I am looking for any siblings or any other relatives that may have come to the USA. Our family name has died out and it would be wonderful to find that we stil have some Beg family somewhere.
