I would like to know what clan Tepavcevic belongs to. I was told that it belongs to the Banjani clan, but it also looks like it belonged to the eastern Hercegovina tribe as well. Can someone please tell me which clan is which. I know my great-grandfather was born in Krstac, Crna Gora,in Golia, but many family members live in Gacko, Hercegovina. So do we belonged to the Banjani tribe of northern Crna Gora or the Pleme Gacko-Gornje Gacko(Golia-Duga). Also heard that northern Crna Gora, from Niksic to Hercegovina was called the old hercegovina. Please can someone educate me on this subject?

Yes its more often reffered to as East Hercegovina.
The best way to eliminate doubt is to track back records at the Montenegrin Archives.
