Dear Pat Noble
My maiden name is Car. My father was born on the island of Krk near
Crikvenica,
Croatia, and came to Australia after WWII.
I am trying to find any information on the Car family of that region. If
you have any
information, I would very grateful to hear from you.
Regards
Janet Car Muir

Janet,
I have the following information on a Mate Car from that area who moved to
Canada. Also other information about Cars from Yugoslavia. (see below) Let me
know if you sort anything out.

I am looking for information about my Grandparents:
Jack Martin Car - Born - Nov 9, 1901 Crivenica, Croatia
- Died - July 6, 1975 Vancouver, BC, Canada
- Emigrated - July, 1928 to Canada
Elizabeth Maraga Car (Maiden Name)
- Born - July 3, 1905 Crivenica, Croatia
- Died - November 22, 1998 Vancouver,BC, Canada
- Emigrated - March 10, 1934 to Canada
- Father - Mate Car
- Mother - Dragica Vrbanac'
When they came to Canada they went to Vancouver, BC and my
Grandfather started fishing as that was his trade. We have very
little info about there background in Croatia. Jack changed the
spelling of his last name when the emigration officer said you spell
that like the car and he said no Carr. So, in Canada he is known as
Carr.

I could not locate Crivenica on the map, but did find Crikvenica. The
latter seems to be too far away from the Karlovac area for me to help
you or offer any suggestions.
