Zdravo, I'm looking for any information about the family tree of Koca Andjelkovic or Petrovic. He was born in the village of Panjevac, by the town of Jagodina, and now that village carries his name(Kocino Selo). He led an uprising against the Turks in 1787 and was captured and killed in 1788. My family is from that same village and we hold the last name of Petrovic also and i'd like to see if there is a connection. To the best of my knowledge he was born as a Petrovic but when the uprising started he changed it to Andjekovic to protect his family but i could be wrong. Any help would be great, Thanks, Igor Petrovic

Hi,
What is it you want to know exaclty? If you are related to Karadjordjevic? That Petrovic branch came from Montenegro. Since Petrovic is a comon name it could be coincedence. You would have to check the archives in Jagodina for the family tree.
Regards,
Sergej

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I didn't think i was related to the Karadjordjevic's but Koca Petrovic was born in the same village as my family and, since he was a some what major figure in Serbia i though maybe someone would know of a family tree for him. Any information would be great.
Thanks, Igor
