=====================================
Fred Adamic, jr. "A CONVERSATION WITH MY GRANDMOTHER". I recorded this brief history in the mid 60s. My comments are in [brackets], hers in (parenthesis).
JOHANA (sajovic) ADAMIC was born Jan 1, 1884 in Rokek, Slovenija (Rokek is now part of Italy). She was the first of 6 children of Janez (John) and Maria Sajovic. Johana was baptized in the parish church at Cerknica, and confirmed at Planina (now part of Italy). The other children, in order of their birth, were: Francis, Theresa, Josephine, Joza (Joe), and Mary. An uncle, Janez Krajnc, lived w/his family in Vanjeselo, Italy.
In 1894, her family moved to the village of Ponikve, near the larger town of Dobrepolje (means 'good field'). Ponikve was also the home of the Adamic family.
In 1903 her father died of pneumonia at 43 and the family split up over the next few years. Johana came to America in 1904. Mother Maria returned to Rokek, and it was there that Joza died at 16 (in 1908 or 1909). The 2nd child, Francis, had died earlier at age 16 in Dobrepolje. Maria and Mary eventually came to America, joining Theresa and Josephine in Minnesota.
Johana began her trip to America at age 20 on March 10, 1904. She traveled by train from Lubljana to the French port of Le Havre, and boarded the steamer La Bretagne for the trip to New York City, arriving March 19, 1904. From New York City it was about 3 days by train to Canon City. Johana worked for Anton Adamic until she and Anton's younger brother Florian were married on August 3, 1905 in the old St Michael's Church in Canon City.
Her mother Maria died in 1913 in either McKinley or Aurora, Minnesota, where she lived with sister Josephine and her husband John Faroni. Maria was buried in Virginia, Minnesota.
