Sivert Stuff

Elanor Conka, born 1896 in Almas, Austria-Hungary.  Her “race” was listed as Croatian. Her nativity was listed as Hungary with last town of Almas.

I attached a picture of the ship. It’s called the CARPATHIA I think.
In 1912, the Carpathia arrived at the scene, after working her way through dangerous ice fields, and took on 705 survivors of the disaster from Titanic's lifeboats.

How about that.  Your grandmother missed it by only 2 years.

Wikipedia says Croatia was in personal union with Hungary from 1102. Croat communities were spread mostly in the western and southern part of the country and along the Danube, including Budapest.” So, she likely was of Croat ethnicity.
