 Includes NotesNotes for Joseph Kastelic:
In addition to these 17 children they had 2 daughters in Slovenia who died before they came to the US. Story is that Joseph came first and Marija came later with son Tom (age 5). From Dolores Kastello in WI.

The following is from a letter written about Joseph Kastelic (1874-43) by Joe Kastelic, b. 1911,& wife Jennie Gorshe to Chuck & Dolores Kastello in 1975. Joe is Chuck's Uncle, Carol Charles being his brother:
"Joseph Kastelic was born in Slovenia, which was part of Austria at that time and is now part of Jugoslavia since after WWI. His birth on tombsone is 2-24-1874 and death Nov 17, 1943. he was in Cleveland at one time, but that was before he settled in Ely.
Don't know when his brother John Kastello was born (It was 1872).
They both probably came at the turn of the century. He did work in the mines once upon a time for a short period of time, a long time ago, then left.
When we got married in 1933 it was the Depression and John was living here in Ely with Grandpa Kastelic. He didn't stay long. he moved around a lot and used to tell us of his travels. He was on the move a lot. He had a wife and children in Europe, I know. the next we heard of hm was a few years back when tom was still in West Allis. He went there from somewhere in Illinois and looked up Tom (his nephews) & Paul, I think. He died in Illinois a few years later. Tom & Paul might remember that. It seems to me they were notified but I'm not sure. they had a sister Josephine Kastelic Kramar, who also came to Ely from Europe, but I know know when. He birthdate on her tombstone is the Year 1882. Doesn't give the month or date. She died in 1961. We know that Joseph, John & Josephine also had a brother named Anton. Kuzzy remembers his father telling him that his father's name was Anton also. Mrs. Kramar used to tell about her brother Anton being with a circus and one time came through the town she was living in in Europe and saw each other and he had given her a carnation. The next thing she heard that the ship the circus was on, sunk, and assumed he went down with it, as that was the last time she heard anything about him. She described her brother Anton as a very tall, dark-complected man. In Europe every house or home had a name and theirs was Pintar. Kuzzy said he remembers Mrs. Kramar talking to his mother about a crippled sister named Palona, which I think would be Pauline in English, but I don't know if she was Grandpa Kastelic's sister or grandma's sister."

These are our newly discovered relatives in WI. They found me on the internet and the connection is that Joseph Kastelic (Chuck's grandfather) and Anton Kastello/Kastelic (Mike's grandfather) were brothers. There seems to be a settling in MN and then Wi among the 5 siblings except for Anton; and then of course brother John died in IL as well.
