Many other nations had this list of theirs "Americans", so I've made a list of Croatian Americans. Kubura 09:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have sourced the list in accordance with Wikipedia's Original Research and Verifiability policies. Basically, anyone described by a reliable source as "Finnish" or "Finnish-American" (i.e. as opposed to "of Finnish descent", "Finnish mother", etc.) is on the list. Here are the people I couldn't find anything for. If you have a reliable source that fits that please restore the names:

See the entries in Croatian phonebook, Croatian phonebook. Here's a help page in English[1] For the surnames that end on -ic, -ich, - cic, -cich, -chich, you'll have to type -ić or -čić. Still, you have to have in mind that immigration officials usually don't write any Slavic surname properly; many times they wrote Croat surnames as they thought they've heard it.
Many times Croatian Americans "anglified" their surnames, to make it easier for pronouncing, or for easier prospering in society (with English-sounding surname it was much easier). That was the case with all other Slavic Americans. Kubura 07:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have re-added Mark Begich to the list, following deletion by User:Jack O'Lantern. According to the list, his father, Nick Begich is a Croatian-American. Therefore, Mark Begich must share his father's Croatian ancenstry. --TommyBoy 08:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have found a possible source to justify Mark Begich's inclusion on this list in the form of an Anchorage Daily News article about the Begich family. [2] --TommyBoy 18:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have re-added him to the list with the aforementioned article listed as a source, which according to User:Yksin does meet the criteria suggested by Mad Jack. --TommyBoy (talk) 14:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have re-added Rudy Perpich to this list with a source cited. That source which is an external link from the Rudy Perpich article, states that his father was a Croatian immigrant and his mother had Croatian ancestry. --TommyBoy 01:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If the referenced source is not enough proof, I have also found that he is listed on the Political Graveyard's list of Croatian ancestry Politicians [3] --TommyBoy 01:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As per The Serbian Americans by Jerome Kisslinger, Chelsea House Publishers New York 1990 pages 99-101 John Malkovich is a Serb. The consulting editors for this book were:
Malkovich is a Croat.He stated it himself few times during interviews and 1990 at the beginning of the Croatian war of independence he sang the Croatian national anthem with Nenad Bach,also a Croatian American.
Newt Gingrich has absolutely no Croatian ancestry. His father's last name is McPherson and his mother's maiden name is Daughtery. Newt's stepfather is Gingrich, who possibly is Croatian, but Newt has no Croatian heritage. According to his family history, the only Europeans were from Scotland, Switzerland and Germany. See this link for his family history: [4] Cvijet (talk) 07:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is no information available on Gingrich's last name or his stepfather being Croatian, but because it ends in -ich I wrote "possibly". Based on online information, the last name "Gingrich" appears to be of Swiss German origins ([5]). Cvijet (talk) 23:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]Having recently gone through the effort of sourcing the Rose Mofford article, I have come across multiple references indicating her parents immigrated from Austria in or about 1912 (online references available here and [6]). While it is true that modern day Croatia was part of Austria-Hungary at the time in question, there does not appear to be any sources showing Mofford's ethnic background. Thus the conclusion she is Croatian appears to be origianl research. --Allen3 talk 23:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not an ethnic Croat, not born in Croatia, not educated at nor ever worked for any Croatian academiic institution; then how he can be a Croatian academic?--65.220.39.94 (talk) 17:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
