Family by that name, SEPICH, in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Perhaps this is
someone from the following generation, given when the Croatian community was
established there. Many of these Croats were from Fuzine.
Ask about the family at the Area Research Center which is part of the WI
State Historical Society: Beverly Johnson

If I typed this in accurately, you should get an e-mail window by clicking on
the line above. If there are naturalization papers available for anyone with
that name, you'll have town of origin and parents' names. A relatively easy
search and inexpensive compared to most WI records.

Good luck, i Vesali Nova Godina,
Ashley
