Notes for Mike Radics:

I found 3 entries at the www.ellisislandrecords.org website that match my Grandfather's age. I know from talking to my father that he had come over several times before bringing or sending for my Grandmother and my Aunt Irene. My father said that my Grandfather had traveled with his brother, my Great Uncle Frank back and forth, but I so far have not found any records through Ellis Island of my Great Uncle.

Of the 3 entries that seem to match my Grandfather this first one seems to have been before he married my Grandmother (I need to get this verified).
