I traced the brother of my great great grandmother (Francesca”Dominkovic” Kosić)to Philadelphia USA.
Peter Domincovich b:May 15 1854 Viganj d: July 23 1890 Philadelphia
m: Mary Kuhn, May 16 1880 Philadelphia
Chn
Antun/Anthony H b: 1881 d: 1947
George Peter b: 1883
Mamie b: 1885 d: 1893
Margaret b: 1888
Would love to find when Peter arrived in the USA
When the wife Mary died
I have been able to trace the family of Anthony
I just discovered that George changed his name from Domincovich to Diston prior to the 1940 C
Couldn’t find his death or that of his wife Mary Lamb. He may have remarried in 1949 SATTLER.
I couldn’t trace Margaret. I found a Margaret Domincovich in a 1940 C working at Philadelphia Hospital
I hope someone can fill in some gaps.

Thank you all for the information- it fills in a lot of the gaps that I have.
Anthony Harry/Harry Anthony is the same person
The marriage certificate for Peter Domincovich to Mary Kuhn has him being born in Dalmatia.
I have found all the deaths of the Chn of Harry Domincovich and the Chn of George Diston.
I wonder why the change in last name?

Can anyone locate the death of Mary Domincovich
I know she was born Mary Kuhn 1856/58 in Maryland. I’m unable to find her death and place of burial.
Once again thank you everyone for your help.
