This Page is dedicated to the research of Antone Malenovsky. Research and Documents in order of events.

Facts about my Grandfather: 

Name: Antone Malenovsky

Birth Place: Zabgrab, Yugoslavia (Now Croatia - See picture of Zabgrab today)

Date of Birth: 29 March 1907

Birth Certificate: None (Said he came to U.S. when he was 16 years old)

Death Certificate: None (SSA says he died Aug. 1978)

Mother: Francis or Frances (Who knows how they spelled it in Yugoslavia. She never came to U.S. Her last name is unknown.) 

Father: Karl Malenovsky  (He never came to U.S.) 

Siblings: Rudolf "Rudy", Romean and a third brother. (Name unknown)

Other known kin: Mary Bezvoda, (spelling unknown) an Aunt who lived in Chicago during the 1950's. Tony Malenovsky went to visit her in 1952 and said she was around 65 to 70 years old. She wanted him to stay with her to help her around the place because she had no other relatives in the U.S. "She own property a block long across the street from Lincoln Park", says Tony. It is believed Mary was related to Antone from his fathers side of the family. Maybe Karl's sister?
