My heritage is 75% Slovenian and 25% Croatian! All four of my grandparents migrated to the United States in the first decade of the 20th century from what was then known as the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and are now the modern-day countries of Slovenia and Croatia. My maternal grandparents, Nicholas J. Kaltneckar (born Podbrdo, Slovenia, 1877 - died Cumberland, Maryland, 1926) and Anna Bizjak (born Strzisce, Slovenia, 1888 - died Union, New Jersey, 1970) were married (1907, Slovenia, Austria) before emigrating to the US. They settled in Coketon, (Tucker County) West Virginia (1909) where my grandfather worked as a coal miner and my grandmother kept busy with (eventually) their ten children! My grandmother and her children moved to New Jersey after my grandfather died in 1924. My paternal grandparents Louis J. Bettijers (later changed to Bettyas and originally Betica) (born Retje, Slovenia, 1891 - died Elizabeth, New Jersey, 1945) and Theresa Rose Pavlic' (born Kraljevec na Sutli, Croatia, 1892 - died Union, New Jersey, 1976) migrated to New Jersey separately (he-1910, she-1906), met and married in Newark, New Jersey in 1912, before moving to Greensburg, Pennsylvania. My grandfather was at different times a coal miner and a scissor grinder and my grandmother raised their five children. They moved back to New Jersey sometime later. My parents are Lawrence Louis Bettyas (born Greensburg, Pennsylvania, 1920 - died Edison, New Jersey, 1985) and Angela Kaltneckar (born Coketon, West Virginia, 1920). This site is devoted to my ongoing search for my ancestors and a tribute to my parents! |
