I am interested in finding info about my Dad's ancestry. His father was Joseph Balkovec, born in Yugoslavia in ~1898, and his mother was Rose Mihalic(sp?), born somewhere in Canada in ~ 1900. My paternal granfather, Joe, came to the U.S. with his 3(?)brothers from Yugoslavia in 1913(?). One of his brothers settled in Montana, where, for some reason, the family name was spelled 'Balkovetz'. My Mom was raised as Jean Marie Savage, by Charles Vincent Savage and Helen Brogan Savage of Pittsburgh,Pa. But she was born, Virginia ? at the Rosalia Foundling home in Pittsburgh, Pa, on February 21,1927, and she was adopted out to the Savages at six months of age.My Mom passed away on August 3,1976. She had no known siblings, and her parents are both dead. I am very interested in finding out anything I can about my Mother's birth parents. Since I'm assuming that almost anyone associated with her birth and adoption would no longer be living, I'm hoping to locate info through various searches.
