Ok, thank you for the answer. However, when I looked at the picture of the baptismal record, my assumptions have been confirmed: the birthplace of Mrs. Hules in the article is not correct.

Already from the maiden name ("Koenig") and mostly German names of Mrs. Hules's parents and brothers/sisters, which are not Slovene, I have concluded that Mrs. Hules was a member of the former German minority in Dolenjska region (the so-called "Gottschee Germans"). From this area, there was a significant emigration to the United States in the late 19. and early 20th. century. The birthplace of Mr. Hules is therefore not Konec near Novo mesto, but former Konec near Kočevje (German: Gotschee). The name of the settlement was officially changed from Konec to Konča vas in 1952.

This is also confirmed by the name of the parish listed in the Baptist (Stara Cerkev).

Ps. Just by the way: the name of the priest is incorrectly transcribed in the transcript of the baptism. It is "Eppich" and not "Oppich".
