Hello JHP,

You can find all the info you need in the archives of Kotor. The Nikaci family is a brotherhood, but its also a surname from Czechia so you need to check first if your family didn't move in from there. Also check info on the Crmnicka nahija of which the Boljevici are part of. As for a coats of arms, you will need to check with the archives if they only used a clan arms or not, and which line is allowed to use them.

We are at the moment updating our heraldic database, when I see something during input I will post it here.

As for the ethnic issue. Most likely of mixed stock as if with most people in that region. But the only reason to be 100% is to do genealogical research and check out your tree.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sergej,

thank you so much for that info. would you be able to give me the contact details for the archives of Kotor (phone number, address etc)??? I tried to find the contact details on the net but to no avail.

would you know how I could get Christening certificates from Ostrog Monastery -do they have a mailing address???

I am very interested in doing genealogical research on my family however it is difficult being in another country and not knowing where to go and look in the first place. I was wondering does your organisation offer genealogical research for a fee??? I would much rather pay someone to do this for me.

thanks again

JHP

The address is:

Church documents are stored in the archives.
If you plan to research your ancestry I would advice membership in the SGS. We currently don't have anyone to do research in Montenegro, but if we get someone we will notify you. SGS membership gives you access to letter templates and such. Also you can post sensitive data on our protected SGS forum.

If you plan to become a member use the link on the front page and register with the same username as you did on the forum.

Best regards,
