Hi Edith ,
After 8 years you have a reply !My gt gt grandfather was Luca Gosden from Dubrovnik , a Croat , Roman Catholic , born about 1860-70 , thus under Austrian administration (until 1919).
He married an Italian Montenegran girl named Casareto and they went to Istanbul , Turkey , where he successfully set up in business as a trader of European goods .
Their girls were Erna , Mary , Ursula , Henrietta and Johanna (Hansi) . Their only son Yvo died young (23)of tuberculosis in Davos Switzerland .The girls remained in Turkey or Greece .
I will talk soon with my last aunt from that side of the family and see what more I can tell you .
Please tell me your information .
Regards , Rich.
