• Social Security Death Index
  
  • Jennie Zajic
  • Born: 30 June 1889
  • Died: April 1984 in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona
  • Zip Code 85008 at Death
  • Social Security #322-16-3838 issued in Illinois
  • Currently there isn't proof that this is Johana Pergler Zajic, but the dates and places match pretty closely. Perhaps John Pergler moved to Phoenix to be near his sister Johana Pergler Zajic (or conversely)
  • The different dates (30 June 1889 from the Social Security Death Index and 3 June 1889 from Birth Certificates) may be typographical errors - more likely with the birth certificate. The family had only been in the USA for 2 years and spoke little English. As in English, 3 & 30 sound pretty similar in Czech.
  • If this is a correct match, then John Zajic appears to have died in August 1980, also in Maricopa County, Arizona.
