Hello Stephan,

I think the best thing you could do is to write to the archives with the data you have. Their address is in Zajecar:

Istorijski arhiv timočka krajina
Nikole Pašića 160
Zaječar
Serbia

Yes, the SpeakSerbian course is recommended by us. Its low priced and works good. It also gives you the ability to learn how to prenounce words.

If you wish you can become a member of the Serbian Genealogy Society. You can look ath the FAQ section for more info on that.

Yes eating oxes and pigs are one of the many hobbies in Serbia

Hope this helps, let me know.

Best regards,

[Sergej]

Zdravo Stephan,

Yes, swearing is the basic But Serbian is easy so dont worry. You can learn it easily. Anyways, ask your mother is she has any old addresses of other relatives. If so then it should be easy work. Also because they can help you out then. Let me know if you get some info on that first. Then I will direct you to the local archives there so you can go on with research.

Regards,

Dear Stephan,

The surname Milosavljevic is origanally from central Serbia. The family migrated throughout Serbia and also Montenegro. Brzohode is located close to Aleksandrovac is Central Serbia ( about 20km south of it)

If you have knowledge of any relatives still living there then it should be easy. Question I have for you is if you speak Serbian?

Regards,

[Sergej]

No, in your Explorer go to View and then see Encoding….Once you know it its easy!!!Cya friday..

[Sergej]

Change the encoding of the page to Central European then you see the correct font.

Pavlović originates from Montenegro, Donja Zeta. First mentioned in the 15th century. Also family in Kotor and the area.

I had the chance to look into the surname again. Its from Montenegro, from Paštrovići. There are no other related surnames that originated from it.

Hello Helen,

I checked some books. The surname Lazarevic originates from Montenegro. Most Serbs have roots there. Most likely from the area of Kotor. Its quit a big family from what I can see.

Check this URL, you can type the names and check them out on the map. They all belong the the Montenegrin migrational areas.

See previous post,

Sheila,

Prlainovic, or maybe Prlanovic, is from Herzeg Novi Montenegro (easy to find on the map). Traparic is from Niksic ( also easy to find on the map) and originates from Herzegovina ( Bosnia&Herzegovina, the latter used to be part of Montenengro.

Yea your family comes from Montenegro, as you can see on maps its not a that big place at all. You are closing in, and I think you need to put all information next to each other and start filtering things out.

But both surnames are from Montenegro, so you would be doing good to start searching there.
