Christine Marie Rawstern 26045 Golfview Ct. Frankfort,IL 60423 United States 815-469-9679 Fax: 815-469-9680 | I am researching the Rawstern Family Tree.I have quite a bit of information on the Moore branch of this family, thanks both to my sister-in-law and aslo a providential finding of another web page showing the Moore line.For the Rawstern side I have from the current on back to a Samuel Rawstern, supposedly born in England and married to a Margaret "Rawstern" (born 1828).These last emigrated to the US and a land deed exists for property in Iowa.Other than this I have no further info on Rawstern. My Mother-in-law is a "Dickey," by birth and her father was Harvey William Dickey, born in 1901 and twin to Lowella Dickey.Their father was Elmer Dickey married to a "Marcia."No further info.Harvey deserted his wife, Mary Arthurs, and nothing further is know of him.I presume he may be deceased, but know nothing of where he lived, worked, died.Mary Arthurs' parents were Michael Arthurs and Mary Hayburn.These were presumed to have descended from Irish ancestry, but we have no info. My side is the Hromis(h) / Pramik line.All my grandparents immigrated from Europe early this century.My info is sketchy, but my Dad was able to get at least names for my Great-great Grandparents, Djure Hromis and Ana Senderak.These lived in Yugoslavia, near where all the trouble has taken place currently.Any remaining European relatives still live in that general area.Not much information is to be had from those troubled areas.Though my father was born in the US, he spoke only "Rusyn," a Russian dialect, through first grade.His father added the "H" at the end of our name for ease in pronunciation, but not all of the family that immigrated used that added letter. My Mother's family is Pramik / Zastko.They all originated in Yugoslavia.I have a typed family tree starting with John Pramik, who immigrated to the US and lived in the Pennsylvania area (many relatives still do) and was married to Susanna Kulember (no info at all).John was my Great Grandfather.On the Zastko (my Grandmother) side I have names only, of her parents and grandparents. Anyone who knows of one of these lines of Family Tree information please contact me. |
