I'm looking for genealogical information about my paternal grandparents. My grandfather, John or Janez Sustar came from Zgornja Sorica, Slovenia in 1913. Alternate spellings of his last name include Suster, Suštar, Sušter, Stostar and Schuster. His wife, my grandmother, was Mary (Marija or Maria) Koblar. She came from Spodnja Sorica, Slovenia. They had several children--Carl, Mary, Leo, John, Christina, and Stanley. They settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My genealogical Website

Also, I'm looking for genealogical information about my maternal grandfather. On my mother's birth certificates he is listed as Edward Francis Leigh. On her death certificate he is listed as James Henry Parkinson. My mother's maiden name was Florence Cecilia Parkinson. She came to the USA in 1946 from Blackpool England. She met my father, John Schuster, when he was stationed there during WWII. She had two siblings, Irene and Theodore. I believe each had a different biological father. There is mention of another sibling, Betty, who may have been born out of wedlock or a foster child. I would appreciate any information you might have about the Parkinsons from the Blackpool area. I don't have any living relatives on my mother's side of the family, which makes my genealogical searching all the more difficult.

I started this page in the hope that it would bring together people who are encountering difficulties performing genealogical searches with the commercial sites available. Also, with respect to my Slovenian ancestry, I was hoping for help dealing with an unknown language and alphabet. Jasustar (talk) 22:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
