Looking for Croatians from Ellis Island time.

Hi, my name is Michele Nevenka Larimer and I am a junior at Rutgers
University and also a volunteer at Ellis Island in the oral history
archives of the library. I am currently transcribing the interviews of
Croatians who came through Ellis Island, however there are only a
handful and I would like to change that. I have all the contact
information which i could drop off and was wondering if maybe there was
a way to put a little add in a church newsletter or to post things in
the church hall or at events for people to either come to Ellis Island
or the staff to come to them if they live not too far to interview
them. I just thought it would be nice to include the stories of more
Croatians in the oral history program, as well as potentially in the
exhibits. I was given your email addresses through the church, so I
thought I would email if there was anyway you think you might be able
to help. Anyway, if you know how I can do this or you can help, I
would really appreciate it. I can be contacted through this email or
my cell phone is (201) 315-2750. Thank you, for your time. Sincerely,
Michele Nevenka Larimer
