Born January 25, 1886, Mijat Sulentic was christened on January 31, 1886 at Sveti Rok, Croatia with Marko Zupan and his wife Kata serving as godparents.
Nineteen-year-old Mile Sulentic, traveling with eighteen-year-old Nikola Sulentic, arrived at the Port of Baltimore, MD from Bremen, Germany on April 27, 1905.

In Albia, IA on July 22, 1911, twenty-five-year -old Mike Sulentich married twenty-two-year-old Ika Sulentic, also from Sveti Rok, Croatia. Ika's maiden name was also Sulentic and while Milan's brother Gasper and Ika's sister Marija were married in Croatia, Milan and Ika first met when Ika came to the United States in 1911 to marry him.
On January 15, 1920, Mike Sulentic signed his Declaration of Intention of Naturalization.
Milan's brother Ivan Sulentic a/k/a John A. Sulentich (1886 - 1967) also immigrated to Monroe County, IA where the brothers worked as coal miners. Milan's eldest brother Gaspar Sulentic (1879 - 1949) came to the US in 1903 and 1913 and worked and lived with his brothers but returned home to his family in Croatia where he passed away in 1949. A third brother, Frane Sulentic a/k/a Frank Sulentich (1890 - 1973), came to the US in 1921 and lived in Hocking, IA and Excelsior Springs, MO before passing away in San Jose, CA at the age of eighty-one.
Milan and Ika were the parents of six children: Mary S. (Sulentic) White (1912 - 2002); Anthony "Tony" Sulentic (1913 - 1998); Katie (Sulentic) Paveglio (1914 - 2010); Anne (Sulentic) Scieszinski (1916 - 2007); Infant Daughter Sulentic (1918 - 1918) and Thomas "Tommy" Sulentic (1920 - 2003).
In addition to working as a coal miner Milan bought an acreage in Albia, IA where he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on December 7, 1941 after being hit in the head with slate in the mine a few weeks earlier. A week after suffering the cerebral hemorrhage, Milan died on December 14, 1941 while being taken into surgery at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, IA.
