I am researching Banjeglav family from former Yugoslavia,Croatia, mainly from Lika, village called Bunic. I also want to know original last name of my family(Banjeglav), because in Lika Serb families change their last names because they were afraid of Croatians.
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards,
Zvonko Banjeglav
Hteo bih da saznam sto vise o poreklu moje porodice, Banjeglav, ciji preci poticu uglavnom iz Like, iz sela Bunic(Bunić). Takodje, hteo bi da saznam prvobitno prezime. posto su Srbi iz Like menjali svoja prezimena u strahu od Hrvata.
Hvala na informacijama unapred.

Hello Zvonko,
It would be important for you to find out in which year they changed their surname. Since you already know that they were from Lika you can contact the archives and local churches there to search through their archives. If I am not mistaken you can do this partially through the LDS library as well. Once you find out their real surname and the date is was changed it will give you more insight into from where they came and where they went(other branches in the family).
Hope this helps/
Regards,
Sergej
