Emigration

※ The following records are representative of data found online and at the archives. Details included may be open to conjecture, but are the most accurare account that can be found and referenced.

Departure Records
Name Mr K Mudrovcic
Gender Male
Departure Age 24
Birth Date abt 1872
Departure Date 7 Nov 1896
Departure Port England
Ship Name Doune Castle
Shipping Line Castle Line
Destination Port Cape Town, South Africa
Master R F Harris

Notes: in July of 1904 another K. Mudrovcic arrived in South Africa, but this person may have been Karlo Mudrovcic (no clear connection with family). He settled in Johannesburg, Transvaal.

Addtionally, K. Mudrovcic is listed in the book titled Jewish Migration to South Africa: The Records of the Poor Jews' Temporary Shelter 1885-1914 (see more here) He is listed as recieveing temporary shelter in the U.K, with his country of origin listed as Hungary (details yet to be ascertained as to why age and marital status is incorrectly labeled). The Shelter was run primarily to help Jews but has always assisted small numbers of non-Jews. The name of the Shelter was changed to "Jews' Temporary Shelter" in the early 1900s (see more here).

Re: Jewish Migration to South Africa: The Records of the Poor Jews' Temporary Shelter 1885-1914

These two volumes offer extracts from passenger lists of “aliens”—non-British residents who are mostly (but not exclusively) Jewish. As Issroff explains in an introduction, the present South African Jewish community consists of people with Litvak ancestry who traveled to South Africa between 1881 and 1914. Many of these East Europeans passed through British ports en route to the southern tip of Africa.

Date of Creation: 1896 May-1897 Jul

From Collection: JEWS' TEMPORARY SHELTER

“The journey to the arrival ports of Hull, Grimsby, or London usually took three to five days depending on where they had embarked,” Issroff writes. “From the point of entry they usually went to the Poor Jews’ Temporary Shelter in the east end of London where they awaited the next steamship to the Cape.”

Issroff is also editor of Jewish Migration to South Africa: The Records of the Poor Jews Temporary Shelter, 1885-1914, which may be used in conjunction with these volumes to help pinpoint ancestors’ journeys and potentially find clues about their birth dates, occupations, and family members.

∴ Based on the aforementioned information, we can only interpret the truth of the matters regarding emigration to South Africa. These details are probably the most accurate and likely accounts that has survived the last 100 years. Other details that are suggestive of the Bremen / Hamburg route to South Africa may prove to hold a more accurate account of events, but these archival materials are no longer in existence.

Naturalization

Following the updated act regarding the Naturalization of foreign immigrants, Konstantine made his intent known on the 25th of November 1927 in a government gazette no: 1671.
(see 1927 government gazette here, p.10)

By the 27th of July 1928, he had received approval for his application and was naturalized on the 26th of April 1928. Interestingly enough his nationaility was not listed as Croatian, but rather Austrian (this is because previously, the area know today as Croatia was Yugoslavia but before this as the empire of Austria-Hungary at the time of his birth in 1877). His certificate number is 10991.

Bilješke: u srpnju 1904. još jedan K. Mudrovčić stigao je u Južnu Afriku, ali ta je osoba možda bila "Karlo Mudrovčić" (bez jasne veze s obitelji). Nastanio se u Johannesburgu, Transvaal.

Dodatno, K. Mudrovčić je naveden u knjizi pod naslovom Židovska migracija u Južnu Afriku: Zapisi o privremenom skloništu siromašnih Židova 1885.-1914 (see more here) Naveden je kao primatelj privremenog skloništa u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu, a njegova zemlja podrijetla navedena je kao Mađarska (pojedinosti koje tek treba utvrditi o tome zašto je dob pogrešno označena). Sklonište je prvenstveno vođeno za pomoć Židovima, ali je uvijek pomagalo malom broju nežidova. Naziv skloništa promijenjen je u "Privremeno sklonište Židova" početkom 1900-ih (see more here).

Re: Židovska migracija u Južnu Afriku : Zapisnici privremenog skloništa siromašnih Židova 1885-1914

Ova dva sveska nude izvatke iz popisa putnika "izvanzemaljaca"—nebritanskih stanovnika koji su uglavnom (ali ne isključivo) Židovi. Kao što Issroff objašnjava u uvodu, sadašnju južnoafričku židovsku zajednicu čine ljudi podrijetlom Litvak koji su putovali u Južnu Afriku između 1881. i 1914. Mnogi od tih istočnoeuropskih ljudi prošli su kroz britanske luke na putu do južnog vrha Afrike.

"Putovanje do dolaznih luka Hull, Grimsby ili London obično je trajalo tri do pet dana, ovisno o tome gdje su se ukrcali", piše Issroff. "Od ulazne točke obično su odlazili u Privremeno sklonište siromašnih Židova u istočnom dijelu Londona gdje su čekali sljedeći parobrod za Cape."

Issroff je također urednik knjige Jewish Migration to South Africa: The Records of the Poor Jews Temporary Shelter, 1885-1914, koja se može koristiti zajedno s ovim knjigama kako bi se pomoglo u određivanju putovanja predaka i potencijalno pronalaženju tragova o njihovim datumima rođenja, zanimanjima, i članovi obitelji.

Naturalizacija

Nakon ažuriranog zakona o naturalizaciji stranih imigranata, Konstantin je svoju namjeru objavio 25. studenog 1927. u vladinom glasniku br.: 1671.
(ovdje vidi vladin glasnik iz 1927., str. 10)

Do 27. srpnja 1928. dobio je odobrenje za svoj zahtjev i naturaliziran je 26. travnja 1928. Zanimljivo je da njegova nacionalnost nije bila navedena kao hrvatska, nego austrijska (to je zato što je ranije područje koje danas poznajemo kao Hrvatska bilo Jugoslavija, ali prije toga kao Austro-Ugarsko carstvo u vrijeme njegova rođenja 1877.). Njegov broj certifikata je 10991.
