I need help to correct this history. This is my outline for many family stories, and I have many pictures to add, but I need to have the basic facts correct.

Ribarich (Ribarić) Family History – ENGLISH VERSION

I used a computer program Google Translate to translate the English to Croatian below. Some of the Croatian translation might not make sense, so please help me correct it. Please add a comment with your correction, or just email it to me.

As many of you know, for many years I have been trying to learn about and document my family history. This is the story I have learned so far regarding my maternal grandmother’s family Ribarich (Ribarić). My name is Margaret and my nickname is Maggie, but for many years as a child I was called “Manda” and told I was named for my Croatian great-grandmother. In 2013 I was able to visit the grave of my great-grandmother, Manda Ribarić, in Kajgana.

When my husband Mike and I visited Croatia in 2013 we found our Ribarić family in Kajgana who helped me with much of the story. We only had one day to discuss, so we plan to return to Croatia in 2015 for a longer visit to fill in more parts of the story.

I have tried to use both the Croatian and American spelling for names. The American spelling is first, with the Croatian spelled in parentheses after. I want to make this as accurate as possible, so if you have any more information or can correct something I have said, please tell me. I want to use proper Croatian spelling when possible.

NOTES: The American tradition is to say the given name first and the family name second. The Croatian tradition is to say the family name first and the given name second. I am a descendent of Kata Ribarich (Ribarić) and so you will see I have most information about that line. My Croatian family in Kajgana is helping with the line of Ilija Ribarić.

Ribarich (Ribarić) Obitelj Povijest – HRVATSKA VERZIJA

Koristio sam računalni program Google Translate prevesti engleski na hrvatski jezik. Neki od hrvatskog prijevoda sada možda ima smisla, pa molim pomoć mene to ispraviti.

Trebam pomoć da ispravi tu povijest. To je moj nacrt za mnoge obitelji priče, a ja imam puno slika koje želite dodati, ali moram imati osnovne činjenice točne.

Kao što mnogi od vas znaju, već dugi niz godina bio sam pokušava upoznati i dokumentirati svoju obiteljsku povijest. Ovo je priča sam do sada naučila o moja majčinska bake obitelji Ribarich (Ribarić). Moje ime je Margaret i moj nadimak je Maggie, ali za mnogo godina kao dijete sam zvao “Manda” i rekao je da je dobio ime po mom hrvatskog prabaka. U 2013 sam bio u mogućnosti posjetiti grob mog prabaka, Manda Ribarić, u Kajgana.

Kada je moj suprug Mike i ja posjetili Hrvatsku u 2013. godini našli smo našu obitelj Ribarić u Kajgana koji mi je pomogao s puno priče. Imali smo samo jedan dan kako bi razgovarali, pa planiramo da se vrate u Hrvatsku u 2015. godini na duži posjet popuniti više dijelova priče.

Pokušao sam koristiti i hrvatsko i američko pravopis za imena.Američki pravopis je prvi, s hrvatske napisane u zagradama iza. Želim da ovo što točniji, tako da ako imate bilo kakve dodatne informacije ili ispraviti nešto što sam rekao, molim te reci mi. Želim koristiti pravilno hrvatski pravopis kada je to moguće.

NAPOMENE: Američki tradicija jest zadani naziv prvi i prezime drugi.Hrvatska tradicija jest obiteljsko ime prvi i dao ime sekunde. Ja sam potomak Kata Ribarich (Ribarić) pa ćete vidjeti da se najviše informacija o toj liniji. Moja hrvatska obitelj u Kajgana pomaže s linije Ilije Ribarić.
