Roms from Slovenia

George Plautz — 31 Aug 2004 2:04:53 GMT

I am looking for Rom family members from Doblice, a small village in Crnomelj Parish. Some names are Josef Rom and Mary Vogrin, whose children settled in Houghton County in Michigan in the early 1900's. But I am interested in all Roms from Doblice. Thanks for your attention.

They were Slovaks although my father leaned more towards a German background. My fathere served three years in the Army under France Joseph. My family tree is shaping up, but I could use some help.

Roms of Pinczow

I'm researching the surname Rom. The Rom I am beginning with, Marion Rom (Maryan?), came from Pinczow near Warsaw in Poland. We think the name Rom was shortened from a lengthier, more Polish sounding surname, but this is all I have to go on right now. My Marion Rom was born in Pinczow in 1887 and came to America in 1914 and settled in Chicago, Illinois, as a furniture reupholsterer, working first for John Colby & Sons and then owning his own furniture upholstery business. He went on to have one daughter with his first wife (Rybicka), who continued her life in Downers Grove. I am, again, quite sure that Rom was a shortened version of his name but cannot find the name on any ships' manifests. Thank you for any further information you can give me.

Ellen Victoria Rom Gustafson

I have a death certificate for Ellen Victoria Gustafson (her married name). Per the death certificate she was born 7-21-1866 in Ostergotland, Sweden. Her father's name is listes as Johannes Rom. She was 72 when she died on 7-19-1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was married when she died and her husband's name was Gustaf Adolph Gustafson. I thought Ellen might be a relative of mine, but she is not. Contact me at siz1051@aol.com if you want the death certificate.
