Well I would say it is rather ridiculous for the following reasons.

The name of his father was Vukasin Mrnjavcevic, which line died out a long time ago. There are no direct descendants alive. Now if someone today is named e.g. Kraljevic then he/she could be named after the person but for sure isn’t related. I would be for sure interested to see some pedigree in which this person can proof the descendancy but I think its just assumption.

Yes the LDS Church has information from Serbia but not from Orthodox and Jewish sources. As far as I know they have not been archives yet. What you could do is contact the Jewish community in Belgrade and ask them if they know something about your surname. That would be the most prudent thing to do, the rest remains, how interesting, speculation.

One of the books that I have makes a reference to the archives of Montenegro so you would really have to contact them with your pedigree and see what comes up. There are multiple families with the same surname not all related to each other.

Then I dont think there is a link to Serbia unless any of your ancestors is born there. Or if the name is spelled as Krulevich. Either way you will need to find a link to Serbia, otherwise they are from just Lithuania.

Did you try with JewishGen btw?

Marc,

There is no single descendant alive today in patronomical direct line of medieval Serbian families. Most of them are 2nd 3rd < degree. You need to search the archives and look for the following:

1. Who is the first who took the name of Krulewitch, most likely this was done in the 18th century during the Napoleon era,
2. Once you find this person you will need to see what his name was and to see what patronym he used,
3. Once you see the names used then look and see if you can find Serbian names. A typical name e.g. is Dragomir.
4. What is/was their religion? Is there a family saint in question?
5. The Jewish line runs through the mother, it is very well possible that the fathers side is of Serbian descent, but that is speculation.

I dont know if you can give me some insight in the male names of the family. It is possible that the family is Jewish and came from Serbia. There is a pretty large Jewish community in Serbia.

Its possible that it is the same family as the Markus that originated from Boka Kotorska around the 13th century, but it would be speculation without a pedigree to support it. Markus is also a German surname. Now I dont know if your pedigree contains Markus from Montenegro but if it does you need to find a the person that makes the link to Montenegro and then go to the Montenegrin archives.

Pozdrav,

Hi,

Yes the name is used in Serbia and its possible that through immigration Kraljevic changed into Krulewitch. The best way to figure this is out is to look at the immigration papers. I dont know if you are in the US but if so you should check with Ellis Island to see from where they came.

BTW, if you get info you can scan it in and attach it to this post/forum.

It says:

Dear sir/madam,

In the books of the parochy in Ivan Knezezvica is the following info concerning the date of birth of 14-9-1865, name father Petar and mother Maria. If you want more we can send you a copy please respons and send us your address. Best regards, Gov. Archives Osijek.

Hi,

Thank you. The Markus family I think is mixed Serbian and German. What place are they from in your family tree so I can direct you to the nearest district archive?

[Sergej]

I have regular contact with the main office in Salt Lake and Vienna. Some things are filmed but not catalogued.

Hello All,

I am attempting to obtain my grandfather’s and possibly myt great-grandfather’s birth certificates from Beschka and/or Torschau. Could you point me in the right direction to obtain the form(s) and address to send to? Also, what would be the fee and how do I take care of this in USD? Thank you very much! Dee Gibson

Hi,

Well most likely they will not treat your request. Serbia’s archives are in dire straits. Is your family Serbian/Orthodox? If they are Catholic you can use the LDS directory to locate information.

If there is material still inside Serbia you would have to either write them in Serbian(members can download templates) or hire a researcher.

I am glad to announce that we will soon have a personal gallery for users. This enables you to add files that people can see. This is an addition to the “Attach a file” option in the forums.

Hi,

I checked out some info for you and you can choose from these two:

Ferenc and Irena Braun

or

Stasa Cvetkovic

You will need to work out details with them since the SGS officialy doesn’t mediate between parties.
