OP yellowwelly 6 May 2011 #5Yes.His name was Tony Ivinisivich however, I cant seem to find anyone else under that name. i noticed another spelling of it which was Ivanisevic however, that appears to be a Croation name.
Polonius3 994 | 12,367 6 May 2011 #6The Ivinsivich spelling is NOT Polish. The closest is Iwosiewicz, a patreonymic nick from Iwo, a south Slavonic form of the first name John.

Crow 155 | 9,025 12 Apr 2017 #10Ivanišević is Serbian surname, by most of stories from Montenegro. Surname expanded in 17h century all over the region after clan Ivanisevic conflicted with local Turkish occupational force and retreated for safety reasons. They were Orthodox Christians. Family SLAVA (old family universal Slavic pre-Christian custom, still celebrated only by Serbs) was St. John (Sv.Jovan- saint protector, basically representation of oldest ancestor in Christianized form).
daisy1916 - | 1 23 Oct 2018 #11My uncle was killed in WWII and I'm told he was in his early 20's. I have no idea which unit he was in or where he was killed, but hope someone could tell me where to search? His name is Wladyslaw Juchno.
