Hello!
My name is Dmitrij Prishnjak,20 years student ,facultet of History of Kirovograd Gevernment Pedagogical University. I am live in Kirovograd region of Ukraine.In end of 18 century my region was knowing- how "New Serbia",because russian empress give here lands for serbians who flea from Ottomans.
So my quastion, did someone know familly with my surname in Serbia,or maybe my surname is some russian tranformation from serbian one.Please I will be glad with any information,because how I think for every people and first of all for historians it is needfull to know his genealogy.
PS.Knowing of russian and ukrainian languages give to me opportunity for some undertanding of serbian.
Hoping for help
BEst regards to all

Hello Dmitrij,
In order for you to know for sure you should check with your local archives in Russia first to see when your family moved there. Once you reach the 19th century you will see that someone most likely moved from Serbia. You will need a place of birth of that ancestor that moved to Russia to determine which family it is. Prisnjak can be found in Serbia but I am unsure if its just 1 branch or more families with the same surname.
Hope that helps
Regards,
Sergej

I am also forgot to write in my information that in Ukraine with my surname its only one familly all in Kirovograd.And that I find in www in one touristic web-site that in modern Croatia there is island called Prishnjak with lighttower only on it. Any case I will try to search in archives,hope its to help,but after communist revolution many archives in villages where burned with Churches in that they was.

Dmitrij,
Yes I know the communists wrecked a lot of things. See if you can find something, also from your personal family items, like cards, certificates, family saint etc. Anything that can give you any information.
Let me know if you find something usefull, good luck.
Regards,
Sergej
