Good, so Stasa would charge you 1000 Euro’s ? For what?
Let me know if you need help with PAF or Legacy. When its done send me the file

[Sergej]

Interesting, did Stasa send you this info??

Hello Jason,

I dont know fi anyone replied to you already. Does Ellis Island state any info that we can use. The surname is Serbian but frequently used.

Dusan,

We opened a new family tree system at http://www.rodoslovlje.com/voyager/rodoslov

If you want to add your tree there as well let us know.

Literally:

Novo => New
Selac(Selo) => Village

Something like new villager, but it doesnt make too much sense if you dont change the syntax in English. As for the story behind the name, you would have to do research and see who adopted the name and what the situation was at that time as in relation to assuming a surname in th 18th century.

Današje stanovništvo kopaoničkog podgorja konsolidovalo se naseljavanjima u XVIII i XIX veku, sa zapada (iz crnogorskih brda, Herzegovine i predela stare Raške ) na jednoj i jugozapada (s Kosova, iz Metohija ie Pologa u Makedoniji) na drugoj strani.

Yes, the most chances of finding information would be through Ellis Island. Your surname is a Serbian surname from Dalmatia, Croatia. THe family originally comes from Vrlika, Polača and Civljane gornje. Also known as the Knin area.

? you are on the forum

[Sergej]

Yes thats correct just add Serbia on a new line and you will be ok.

Antonio,

The ring is not from Yugoslavia. I didnt recognize it and our herald didnt either. I think its from Europe but I will see with some people to assertain its origin. There are more then 10.000 arms out there so lets see if they know something straight away. If not then we will need to see if its listen in Rietstap or Siebmachers.

[Sergej]

You would have to write the archives in Kikinda and approach the churches there. Most likely family that remained behind are still living there.

[Sergej]

Samo da kazem, PAF i Legacy su najbolji i za kreiranje GEDCOM standard.

Hi Lauren,

The correct spelling in Serbian would be Janković.
Did you check with Ellis Island or do you have any birth data on where he was born? That way it will help narrow down your search. The surname is derived from the name Janko, which is a comon name that can be found all over Europe.

Hope this helps.
