CHAPTER ONE
OUR FAMILY MARINKOVIC-ICH OF ISLAND BRAC, CROATIA AND NEW ZEALAND
Family information; Thanks to some serious research by Maria Dragicevich and Dick Martinovich (who was an “ex officio member” of the committee that organised the 1992 Marinkovic Family Reunion) we have the following, a very detailed record for this family, edited by compiler, which starts from the Island of Brac in modern day Croatia…some may be conjecture only… During the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, Anton Marinkovic and his brother Jure and their wives, raised large families in the village of Donji Humac on the island of Brac, located in the Adriatic Sea several kilometres from the province of Dalmatia which is part of the modern day Croatia and once part of the former Yugoslavia until the latter’s disintegration with the downfall of Communism in the 1990s.
The central characters in this journal are the original migrants who arrived in New Zealand in the early part of 1900s. Some originated from the village of Donji Humac on the Dalmatian island of Brac and were the offspring of brothers Ante Marinkovic-Spadic and Jure Marinkovic-Spadic. These are ancestors for Catherine Marinkovic. The parents were probably born in Donji Humac. Whether or not the brothers Ante and Jure had any genealogical connections with Marinkovic-Spadic families in Bol is a matter of conjecture. Perhaps some relevant information about this matter is held in the records in the Mjestni Ured (“Municipal Office”) in Supetar…In the 1960s, at Waiharara (about 20Km north of Kaitaia), Dick Martinovich met a small “second generation” of Marinkovic farming family who knew little about their ancestral background although they understood their forbears were from Bol on Brac. At the time Dick believed that there was little if any awareness amongst the Northern Wairoa group or amongst the Waiharara group regarding the existence of the other group. That belief probably reflected the true situation until 1992 when Frank Marinkovic, a member of the Waiharara family, turned up at the Marinkovic reunion which was held in Auckland. (He had apparently heard about the reunion “by chance” only a few days previously.) During the reunion intentions were expressed regarding research into possible genealogical links between the two groups but it is not clear if there have been any developments along those lines In “Iseljenici Otoka Braca” it is recorded that 97 Marinkovic-named males emigrated from Bol prior to WW2. The most numerous cognomens among these emigrants were Spadic (30), Simic (16), Tomic (13), Gulermo (12), Jaje (8), Smilo (6), and Lipi (4). In comparison Spadic was the cognomen for every one of the 11 Marinkovic males who emigrated from Donji Humac prior to WW2. It is suggested that the Marinkovic-Spadic name was established in Bol before it made an ~ 5 ~ appearance in Donji Humac. And it could well be that the Donji Humac Marinkovic-Spadic families are an offshoot of the Bol Marinkovic-Spadic families Regarding Marinkovic family information that already exists in book form…General information about Brac Marinkovic families can be found in the 430-page book entitled “Iseljenisi Otoka Braca” (published in Zagreb in 1982) and in Norma Willesee’s bound folder entitled “The Martinovich Family Tree” (compiled in about 2009). Some of the information in these two sources is discussed below. Page 257 of “Iseljenisi Otoka Braca” gives a reasonable amount of basic information about early Marinkovic settlers in Australia even though the accuracy and completeness of that information may be questionable. In this context it should be noted that many names and migration dates given on Page 257 cannot be satisfactorily reconciled with names and dates given in the Bol listings (on Pages 300 – 311) in the same publication. Nevertheless, the contents of page 257 do provide a general overview of the various links in the migration chain that Mate Marinkovic-Simic set in motion in the late 19th century. On Page 257 of “Iseljenici Otoka Braca” Ivan Martinovic- Moge is given credit for sponsoring or facilitating the migration of 19 named individuals from Donji Humac to Australia. Those 19 individuals include two of his brothers and several of his nephews and nieces (including 3 uncles and an aunt of Dick Martinovich). Perhaps of most interest to people who are likely to read these notes are the 5 “sponsored or facilitated” migrants referred to as “Celina, Jozica, Knesija, Josip and Mikovil who were the children of Ante Martinovic-Bagatela”. It seems that the names Mikovil (Mihovil) and Ante have been transposed because on pages 311 – 315 of “Iseljenisi Otoka Braca” 5 Martinovic-Bagatela siblings are recorded as: Celina Petkovic (daughter of Mihovil Bagatela) born 1929, migrated 1953. Ante Martinovic (son of Mice Bagatela) born 1930, migrated 1954. Ksenija Dragicevic (daughter of Mihovil Bagatela) born 1934, migrated 1964. Zorica Beros (daughter of Mihovil Bagatela) born 1937, migrated 1958. Josip Martinovic (son of Mihovil Bagatela) Born 1946, migrated 1962). Within the context of these notes the significant thing about the above 5 siblings is that they are the children of a ‘Donji Humac’ Marinkovic mother.

CHAPTER TWO
2/. KATICA KUSCEVIC AND ANTE (ANTON) MARINKOVIC 1853
Generation one: Anton Marinkovic Generation two: Petar Marinkovic Generation three: Andrija Marinkovic Generation three: Katica and Anton
Family information: During the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, Anton Marinkovic and his brother Jure and their wives, raised large families in the village of Donji Humac on the island of Brac…
Family information… Anton and Katica Marinkovic’s Family; Five sons; Jack, Marco, Peter, Tony and Bozidar (Bob) and a daughter, Fila (Phyllis) emigrated to New Zealand in the early 1920s. Jerka emigrated to Chile, Ilija and Marinko to Bolivia, Rosanda to Argentina, and Barisa and Bepo remained on Brac. Anton’s side of the family anglicised their surname when they came to New Zealand with the addition of an “H” on the end of their surname to reflect its English pronunciation. Jure’s family have retained the original spelling without the “H”.
Katica was Ante’s wife and her maiden name was Kuscevic. This can be deduced from a file within the Totich papers which are held in the Auckland Museum Library. The file in question is entitled “Marinkovic Vicko pok Antuna”. Vicko Marinkovic, the subject of the ~ 10 ~ file, is listed as below.] Kuscevic is a common family name in Nerezisce and it is reasonable to conclude that Katica herself was from Nerezisce. This is consistent with the recollections of Marija Dragicevich (daughter of Mice)
(Compiler has confirmed the existence of the family ‘Kuscevic’ in the village of ‘Nerezisce’ on the Island of Brac, Croatia.)

Family information: In 1920, at the age of 26, Jack joined other immigrants who were leaving their homeland in Dalmatia and set sail for New Zealand with his brothers Peter, Mark, Bozidar (Bob) and Tony. A sister, Phyllis Dragicevich, had earlier immigrated to New Zealand in 1913 with her husband, Tony. All were swayed by the notion that there was a prosperous future to be had in New Zealand which was unattainable in their country of birth.

Family information continues… Jack was the son of Ante and Katica Marinkovic (Spadich) and Lucy was the daughter of, Marko and Tomazina (Peric) Matulich (Brazinovich) from the village of Dol on the Island of Brac. Jack was from the village of Donje Humac, also on the Island of Brac. The couple met in Croatia before Jack immigrated to New Zealand in 1920. Lucy followed late in 1923. Ivan (Jack) Lukene Marinkovic migrated to New Zealand about 1920. His wife was Lucija nee Matulic-Brazimovic. It would appear her people were from Dol. They farmed next door to Peter. Their children were Len, Ruby (Mrs Ridling), Maurice, and Jeana (Mrs Priestly). [Further miscellaneous information about Jack and his wife is contained in the “Marinkovic Ivan pok Antuna” file in the Totich papers.]

Family knowledge: Jack was the son of Ante and Katica Marinkovic (Spadich) and Lucy was the daughter of Marko and Tomazina (Peric) Matulich (Brazinovich) from the village of Dol on the Island of Brac. Jack was from the village of Donje Humac, also on the Island of Brac. The couple met in Croatia before Jack immigrated to New Zealand in 1920. Lucy followed late in 1923. Lucy came to New Zealand with her brother Jurai who came to be known as George and who settled in Levin. Another older brother Visko followed them to New Zealand in 1925. He also lived in Levin initially and then moved to Wellington before moving to Auckland to retire. Like all Croatians, Jack and Lucy were very family oriented, a trait that probably stemmed from the region of their birth experiencing great political and social turmoil due to war and domination by various powers over the centuries, which resulted in an absence of nationhood. Croatia’s geographical position, at the interface of east and west, made it a prime target for these powers throughout history. Jack’s early years in Croatia were spent as a butcher in the family’s small meat supply business. In 1920 at the age of 26 Jack joined other immigrants who were leaving their homeland in Dalmatia and set sail for New Zealand with his brothers Peter, Mark, Bozidar (Bob) and Tony. A sister Phyllis Dragicevich had earlier immigrated to New Zealand in 1913 with her husband Tony. All were swayed by the notion that there was a prosperous future to be had in New Zealand which was unattainable in their country of birth. After landing in Auckland after a six-week sea journey, they immediately travelled to Dargaville to join other Dalmatians digging Kauri gum around the Northern Wairoa area. After many months of gum digging Jack was not content with this way of life and went further north to the Waipoua forest where he found work building roads and working in the logging industry in full swing at that time. This required hard physical labour. There were few other options for these foreign immigrants from the Balkans who could not, at the time, read, write or speak the language of their adopted country. They were devoid of any specialized skills but had an aptitude for hard physical graft and a focus and determination to succeed and to make a new life for themselves and their families. From the Waipoua Forest, Jack shifted south to the alluvial flats of Tatarariki on the Pouto Peninsula. Along with his brothers Peter, Tony and Bob, he dug drains and canals that in time would allow this fertile wetland to be turned into highly productive farmland. ~ 19 ~
After five laborious years, Jack, Tony and Peter saved sufficient capital to purchase a farm at Turkey Flat Road near Te Kopuru. This was supposed to be their start on the road to prosperity but alas their time had not yet arrived. The Great Depression of the 1930s conspired against the three brothers and the venture went into receivership. The three brothers went their own separate ways. Tony returned to Dargaville for a time before moving to Auckland while Jack and Peter remained in the Dargaville area to continue their quest for prosperity. Their determination was rewarded when in 1926 Jack and Peter obtained the lease on a 497- acre block of crown land (government owned) between Scarrotts Road and Koremoa Road at Tikinui, 15 miles south of Dargaville on the Pouto Peninsula. The block was divided up and Jack took the southern-most 200 acres of scrub and bush-covered virgin land. This was the turning point of his life when the graft over the past six years had paid off and he now earned the opportunity to strike out on his own. In 1924, prior to drawing the lease, Jack’s future wife, Lucy Matulich, arrived in New Zealand with her brother George. Father John Spiering married Jack and Lucy during the Easter of 1924 in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Te Kopuru. The reception was held at Peter and Mary Marinkovic’s residence at Tikinui. Prior to moving on to the farm, Jack and Lucy lived at Tokatoka in a one room shanty with a dirt floor and it was during this time that their first child, Len, was born on 21 April 1925. While Jack was away helping to build stone retaining walls on the Ruawai foreshore, Lucy was left at home to care for her first born, remote from any living person, where the only source of hot water being what she boiled for herself on an open fire. One can only contemplate now what long-term effects such deprivation had on these early pioneer women who had come from a close supportive village environment with constant social contact with family and friends to what must have seemed like hell on earth. On many occasions, Jack would return home after a hard day’s work to find Lucy in tears because of the isolation, loneliness and lack of social contact. When Jack and Lucy first returned to Tikinui to take over their farm, they lived with his brother Peter and his wife Mary for a short time until they purchased their first home. This was barged across the Northern Wairoa River and situated on the new farm. ~ 20 ~
Developing this farm was an arduous task necessitating Jack taking outside work to make a living while he developed his land. His first six-acre paddock was cleared of scrub and bush and then dug over with a shovel. It took him over one week of solid work to cut the scrub a short distance from the house to where the first milking shed was to be built. They eventually purchased their first 20 cows but even then, Jack had to continue to take on extra work outside the farm to make ends meet. This made it necessary for him and Lucy to rise at 3 am each day to get the milking done, by hand, so he could ride a horse for eight kilometres to start work at 7 am digging drains for Bill Bradley at Tatarariki. Later Jack got work closer to home at the Greenhill Quarry breaking up stones with a spalling hammer for roads in the area. As their financial position improved, Jack purchased two draft horses to assist him with the farm development. Between 1927 and 1933 Ruby (2/4/27), Maurice (13/10/30) and Jeanna (10/12/33) were all born and have since past away. Len and Ruby received their initial education at Tikinui Primary School and when that closed circa 1933, at the Te Kopuru Primary School and then the Dargaville High School. Maurice and Jeanna also attended school at Te Kopuru and Dargaville. Eventually the 200 acres were all developed and with the purchase of a further 54 acres in 1941 it became a productive unit, milking hundred and fifty cows, small by today’s standards but a good living in those times. As time progressed so did the roads and technology. Jack purchased his first car, a Plymouth Sedan. Working behind a shovel or a pair of horses was not a problem for Jack but being behind the steering wheel of a car was a different matter. There are many stories to be told about this new experience, like the first journey home after buying his car. Jack, with Len aboard, was passed by a neighbour, George Erceg, whose parents had also immigrated to New Zealand from Croatia. As he drew alongside George sounded his horn as a greeting but Jack, instead of reciprocating, drove straight off the road into the raupo, a tall native grass- like weed. In 1940 the original house was moved aside and a new one built in its place, which is still in use today on the original farm. Len and Maurice both stayed on the farm after leaving school and later share-milked for Jack. Len later purchased his own farm to develop a short distance from the Homestead in Scarrott Road. In 1943 Jack purchased a stationary hay baler and started contracting with the help of his two sons. Prior to the development of the baler, farmers used to stack loose straw in heaps for winter feed. With a stationary hay baler, the hay was scooped up into heaps with the device called a sweep which was drawn by two horses. The hay was taken to the baler and baled into oblong bales and tied off with twine. A few years later Jack purchased two tractor drawn balers which were much more efficient. When the mobile balers arrived, Jack left the contracting to Len and Maurice. Maurice eventually withdrew from contracting but Len continued the business until his sudden death in 1996, after participating in the industry for fifty-two years. ~ 21 ~
1950 Jack employed Doug Johnson, the eldest son of a farming family at Tikinui, to assist with farm work, with Len and Maurice being occupied with contracting work. Doug was followed by his brother Robert in 1954 and another brother Samuel from 1962 to 1972. The Marinkovic family formed a very strong relationship with the Johnson family which has endured until the present time. Jack and Lucy avoided the leisure activities or pastimes like sport, fishing or cultural activities that succeeding generations now take for granted. Jack was teetotal although in the early years he used to make a little wine for Lucy, which stopped after she was diagnosed with diabetes. Their life centred entirely on farming, their family and the garden. Like most people in those days they always had an excellent vegetable garden and a tidy well-kept flower garden. The 30-foot-high Macrocarpa hedge surrounding the homestead area got a compulsory short back and sides by hand by Jack at least once a year. The habit of daily toil could not be broken and remained with Jack until 1966 when he suffered a heart attack at the age of 70 while cleaning an effluent drain from the cowshed. The standard of medical care that is available today in the 21st Century was not available then and he never recovered from this setback, which deprived him of the ability for the only form of self-expression he knew, physical labour. Like any finely tuned machine, without regular use it deteriorates, and Jack suffered a second attack on August 2, 1967 which claimed his life aged 72 years. The loss of her constant companion of 43 years left a void in Lucy’s life that was never filled. She continued to live on the farm with Maurice until she too passed away on December 1, 1969 aged 70 years from a Thrombosis, after being hospitalised after dislocating her shoulder during a fall at home while feeding her hens. Her passing ended an era of human endeavour characterised by dogged determination and hard work and accompanied in their earlier years by deprivation and extreme hardship. Jack and Lucy’s farm was taken over by their son Maurice who later sold it to become the proprietor of the Commercial Hotel in Dargaville. Len and Thelma’s son Michael took over their farm and he still farms the property at Tikinui today. To this day older members of the family hold fond memories of a couple that were loved and respected by all their grandchildren and their extended families, some scattered throughout the world, for laying the foundation and setting an exemplar and work ethic for future generations. For those of us who knew them personally, these memories and indeed their spirit, will remain for the rest of our natural lives.

Information from Leslie Marinkovic…
Roger, These two Matulic(h)s are two brothers. The first is Jura, commonly known as George in NZ, which is the English translation of Jura; and Visko Matulich. Both settled in Levin initially where Viskco ended up with a restaurant during World War Two. I think that he did reasonably well as there was a big US military camp nearby. Both these men are my paternal grandmother’s (Lucija or Lucy) brothers. Lucy came to NZ with George. They all originated from the village of Dol which I noticed you have not noted in your journal as being amongst the list of villages on Brac.
I am not sure when you were staying down at Tikinui whether or not you met Mark Matulich? He was Visko’s son and he used to come up to the farm occasionally during the duck shooting season and for the Dargaville races. He was a keen race man and owner. He and Maurice were good drinking buddies, much to the consternation of Grandfather Jack who was tea total, but Maurice was no match for Mark who at one time owned the Albion Hotel and had an interest in the Station Hotel, in the Auckland CBD and was a bottle of whisky-a-day sort of bloke for over twenty years as well as smoking 80 Lucky Strike cigarettes. Both deceased now of course. Remarkably, Mark lasted for 83 years whereas Maurice went out at 55. Good genes on Mark’s side. His father died at 84 and his mother at 102. Cheers Les

VISCO MATULICH
In his will Visco leaves a portion of his estate to his daughter Tomazina. Is she the granddaughter of Tomazina (Peric) Matulich (Brazinovich)?

Family information… Roger, I forgot to mention Miss J Matulic. That is in all probability Jaqueline Matulich who immigrated to NZ with her parents, Tonci and Francis, in about 1970 from Brac. They are nephews of my grandmother and he and his brother Mark Matulich, a cousin of the Mark I mentioned in my first email, were sponsored to NZ by Visko. Tonci or Tony as he is known as here and Francis are still living in Hillsborough in Auckland and they had one son, Robert, born here after they arrived. Robert is in Real Estate in Auckland and his partner is a girl called Nicki, who is the foster daughter of Barbara Barne,s whom you may remember from high school days. She was about a year behind me and her father worked for Harding Estate at Aoroa. Jacqui is a Specialist Dermatologist in Sydney.

Note: The following is an interesting story from a movie called ‘The Last Will’ added by the compiler to give some spice to this record. The only connection to this journal is the Christian name ‘Bepo’… and the island Brac…
After the death of a wealthy Croatian emigrant, it is discovered that he left his fortune to an unknown, illegitimate relative back in Croatia… —Lily Bartul Burt Marinkovic, a Croatian emigree-turned millionaire, dies and unexpectedly leaves his millions, not to his beautiful young wife, Nicole, but to his heretofore unknown, illegitimate nephew, Bepo Stambuk, who is living in Bol on the island of Brac. This is Marinkovic's posthumous revenge on Nicole for his discovery that she has been having a long-standing affair with his personal secretary, Douglas Caine. A young lawyer of Croatian descent named Elisabeth Horvath is assigned to find Bepo and transfer his inheritance to him, but at the same time, Nicole and Caine hire two assassins to go to Brac and kill Marinkovic's heir. When Horvath and the two assassins arrive, they discover independently that there are three men in Bol named Bepo Stambuk and must figure out which is the right one.
—Jaime Jeske
Bepo Stambuk is a likeable tour guide and enterprising ladies' man on the charming island of Brac, off the coast of Croatia. Bepo's happy life revolves around two reciprocal relationships: his love of his island and his adoration of women. However, Bepo's easy going routine life is about to be seriously interrupted. Back in the U.S., his father, a émigré he has never met, has died and left him a fortune. He has also left a very young, very greedy, and very adulterous widow. She has no intention of handing Bepo the money and dispatches hitmen to find and eliminate him. Also, on her way to Brac is Elizabeth, the beautiful young attorney assigned to award Bepo the money. Not surprisingly, Elizabeth brings her own agenda and is eager to find the lucky heir for less than legal reasons.

Family information: Visko, commonly known as Dalmo. In the 1992 Marinkovic reunion programme he is listed as “Anton (Tony)”. A Totich file entitled “Marinkovic Visko pok Antuna” contains very interesting information about this individual whom DM recalls was a widower who rode a bicycle in Te Kopuru in the 1940s. From the Totich file and from it can be deduced that Dalmo was born on 21.12.1891, that he probably migrated about 1925, that his wife was Anka Sfarcic from Milna on Brac, and that in 1934 he was living in Aratapu (which is only a short bike ride from Te Kopuru !) Dalmo and Anka had one daughter, Vesna (Mrs Ashwell).

Generation one: Anton Marinkovic Generation two: Petar Marinkovic Generation three: Andrija Marinkovic Generation three: Katica and Anton Marinkovic Generation four: Suarcic? and Marinko Marinkovic
Family information: It is recorded that Marinko was born in 1904 and that he migrated to Bolivia in 1928. When he migrated, he left behind a wife, a daughter (Nada) and a son (Silvo). The son later joined his father in Bolivia. Marinko apparently deserted his Donji Humac wife and remarried bigamously and had a further 2 children in Bolivia.
The Marinkovic Bolivian Connection… Prior to the 1992 Marinkovic reunion, the members of the organising committee understood that some contact had been made between family members in New Zealand and in Bolivia. Recent enquiries indicate that no such contact was made.
DM wishes to record herein information he gleaned from a telephone discussion he had in 2006 with Jim Hunter, the owner of Glenroy Station near Gibbston in the South Island. Jim is a Croat who was born in Osjek and schooled in Split (and “Hunter” is a name he has apparently recently adopted). Jim told DM that he had recently visited Santa Cruz in Bolivia where he met a Martinovich and a Marinkovic. Both of these were locals and the descendants of Dalmations who had initially migrated to Chile. Jim (jokingly!?) commented that there were about seven Martinovich and Marinkovic families in Santa Cruz and they “owned most of the town”. Jim Hunter’s telephone numbers in 2006 were 027 436 7362 and 03 442 1282

New York Times. 2008 THE SATURDAY PROFILE In Bolivia, a Croat and a Critic Is Cast in a Harsh Light By Simon Romero Sept. 26, 2008
SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia… THE documentary on Bolivian state television opens with grainy images of leaders of the Ustashe, the fascist movement that ruled Croatia during World War II. The movie, part of a propaganda campaign against one of President Evo Morales’s most vocal critics, then shows black-and-white photos of emaciated victims in concentration camps, followed by the question, “Who is Branko Gora Marinkovic Jovicevic?” Tapping a pack of Camel Lights on his desk, Branko Marinkovic, the 41-year-old scion of a cooking oil and cattle ranching empire, is understandably displeased at being associated with Nazis who fled to South America. After showing the documentary to visitors, he keeps glancing at his laptop’s screen saver, a photo of the console of his private plane. His uneasy gaze betrays his thoughts: he would rather be somewhere else. But Mr. Marinkovic is in Bolivia, and trying to answer the question posed in the crude propaganda film: Who is Mr. Marinkovic? For many people in the tropical lowlands, Mr. Marinkovic, whose parents emigrated here in the 1950s from the former Yugoslavia, is an example of entrepreneurial resilience and leadership in the face of radical policies championed by Mr. Morales. In his own words, he made the leap from business to politics to resist a “descent into intolerance and hatred” against light-skinned Bolivians like himself. ~ 98 ~
But for Mr. Morales and the social movements that support him, Mr. Marinkovic is the kind of magnate who symbolizes all that is wrong in rebellious eastern Bolivia. Attacks against him have intensified since his foray into politics after he was elected president last year of the powerful Pro-Santa Cruz Committee, a group seeking greater autonomy for the lowlands from the central government in La Paz. Officials in Mr. Morales’s government accused him of becoming one of Bolivia’s richest men partly through illegal land grabs in areas inhabited by Guarayo Indians, a charge he has contested in court. Seizing on his origins and foreign-sounding name, some here have called him a foreign meddler. (Mr. Marinkovic holds both Bolivian and Croatian citizenship.)
STATE news media also suggest that Mr. Marinkovic is seeking to foment a civil war to create a breakaway country in the lowlands, much as Croatia broke away from Yugoslavia. They also insinuate that Mr. Marinkovic’s late father, Silvio, was connected to Ustashe members who fled to South America along with their Nazi patrons.
“The Croat Marinkovic,” Bolivia’s state news agency said this month, “is promoting the division of Bolivia with fascist opposition to Evo.” In Mr. Morales and Mr. Marinkovic, divided Bolivia has found strikingly different adversaries. The president, who halved his own salary to less than $2,000 a month upon taking office, is a former coca grower who espouses state-guided development from La Paz and the redistribution to indigenous peasants of large estates owned by people like Mr. Marinkovic. Mr. Marinkovic commands a multimillion-dollar fortune and promotes a vision of unfettered enterprise combined with weaker ties to the central government. While Mr. Morales thrives in Bolivian politics, which are increasingly characterized by confrontation and intimidation, Mr. Marinkovic still seems more at home in an air-conditioned executive suite. “My father was a Communist who fought with Tito against the Nazis,” an exasperated Mr. Marinkovic said in an interview here, referring to the Croatian peasant’s son who cobbled together Yugoslavia. As a child of privilege growing up in Bolivia, Mr. Marinkovic would be taken by his parents on family visits to Zagreb, now the Croatian capital, and points beyond in the Balkans. “They’re calling us neo-Nazis, when that’s the farthest thing from the truth,” he continued, switching briefly into English with a slight twang, which he picked up while studying engineering and finance at universities in Texas. “There’s too much lying going on blatantly.” BUT where the truth rests in Santa Cruz is also hard to determine. This city remains a bastion of openly xenophobic groups like the Bolivian Socialist Falange, whose hand-in-air salute draws inspiration from the fascist Falange of the former Spanish dictator Franco. ~ 99 ~
Another group, the Santa Cruz Youth Union, is a quasi-independent arm of the committee led by Mr. Marinkovic. “We will protect Branko with our own lives,” Juan del Mar Paz, a member of the Youth Union’s board, said in an interview at its headquarters in an office here next to that of Mr. Marinkovic. “Branko is a visionary leader standing up to the dictatorship of the altiplano.” Drawing such admiration from cadres that enter into violent clashes with impoverished migrants in Santa Cruz’s slums has opened Mr. Marinkovic to claims that he is indifferent to the racism suffered by highland indigenous groups.
Credit...The New York Times “It is a shame that Don Branko Marinkovic, a child of immigrants, blinds himself to the reality of internal Aymara and Quechua migrants,” said Fabián Yaksic, Bolivia’s vice minister of decentralization, whose Croatian parents also emigrated decades ago from the former Yugoslavia. Bolivia’s entire Croatian community numbers only a few thousand in a country of nine million. Many Croatians settled in the last century in Santa Cruz, an agriculturally vibrant region also home to Brazilian soybean planters, Canadian Mennonite sunflower farmers and a Japanese rice-growing colony. But with Mr. Marinkovic’s rising profile, it is Croatia, population 4.5 million, that has come into focus. In a twist, Mr. Marinkovic has also drawn attention in his father’s homeland. Croatian news media have sent correspondents here to write about his language skills (he speaks fluent Croatian), his land holdings in Croatia and his wife, Nicole Dauelsberg, a former “magnífica,” as the light-skinned beauty queens of Santa Cruz are known. ~ 100 ~
They have also investigated incendiary claims against Mr. Marinkovic, including one that he sought to raise a paramilitary force with mercenaries from Montenegro, the Balkan country where his mother was born. Mr. Marinkovic vehemently rejects the claims, asserting that he wants to keep Bolivia intact with a movement that is both democratic and transparent. “A civil war would be economic suicide, given my interests,” he said, explaining that his cooking oil, Aceite Rico, is sold throughout Bolivia and that a bank in which he owns a large stake, Banco Económico, has branches across the country. With attention focused on such holdings and his elite place in Bolivian society, Mr. Marinkovic has recently been trying to recast himself in the public eye, saying he is the victim of a disinformation campaign by Mr. Morales’s government. Eager to be seen as a Bolivian, he speaks only Spanish in public gatherings and interviews. He says he champions policies that would benefit lowland indigenous groups, like the Guaraní and Guarayo. And he insists Bolivia must remain whole if it is to survive its latest crisis. But as to the possibility of renewed violence on the streets of Santa Cruz and other Bolivian cities, Mr. Marinkovic is clear. “If there is no legitimate international mediation in our crisis, there is going to be confrontation,” he said. “And unfortunately, it is going to be bloody and painful for all Bolivians.”

FRANKA MARTINOVIC AND JURE MARINKOVIC 1863
Generation one: Anton Marinkovic Generation two: Petar Marinkovic Generation three: Andrija Marinkovic Generation three: Franka and Jure Marinkovic
Note: Most of the following genealogy is managed by Lynette (Geni Curator) and Noeline Anne Erceg (Perich) Compiler has added family stories, photos and official records where possible.
Family information… Franka Martinovic-Crveja was Jure’s wife and she was born 19.05.1867. In 1934 the widowed Franka travelled to New Zealand to visit her daughter and 5 sons who by that time were well established in their new environment. She probably returned home on the “Awatea” which was scheduled to depart from NZ on 29.10.1937. This information about Franka’s NZ visit comes from the file entitled “Marinkovic Franka ud Jurja” in the Totich papers. It is also consistent with the recollections of Ricky Marinkovic (son of Simun) and from the recollections of Marija Dragicevich (daughter of Mice) both of whom knew Franka when they were children. Jure: Jure’s granddaughter Marija Dragicevich recalls that he died at about 45 years of age.
Compiler has confirmed that Franka arrived in New Zealand on the ‘Monowai’ During June 1934…
