Then, out came the wine and the photos. Julie, Teresa and I were taking pictures of the photos with our iPhones, Ziga was translating and we were scribbling furiously. I was delighted to see that they had many of the same photos that were kept in the piano bench in the home in Globeville.

A grandson of Teja and Fonze, Luka, arrived. Luka is about twenty years old and can speak, read and write in English, so I asked if he could translate the letters I had brought with me. He graciously obliged and read three letters that were written in Slovenian: from 1948, 1949 and 1957. More. . .

I'm enjoying reading the information here. I found it while looking for information on my family. My paternal grandmother's maiden name is Kohut. She is from Globeville. Wanting any information on can find on her and her family. Apparently, the Russian Orthodox church has founders by the name of Kohut. I am assuming my ancestors.
Rhonda - YES, Kohuts were prominent in the founding of Transfiguration - large family. I have some information on the church. I interviewed Helen Kohut Capron and can send her interview to you.
What was your grandmother's name?
