Can you also tell me something about the families Dobrijevic, from where they come from, history about them and so on....?
thank you

Dobrijevic is from that area. There are several families non-related with the same surname. The surname appears as early as the 15th century from what I know by heart but this doesnt mean anything unless you make a family tree-->pedigree.

From saga some old man had beard like bag (torba), and people started call them Torbice.

Torbice from Kozara area, that mean form Prijedor, came from Dalmatia, probably accros Drvar area where Torbice also lived.

In 1686. and 1692. year happened two big migration when more then 1000 families (500 per each migration) moved from Bjelaj (Bos. Petrovac) in Nord. Dalmatia (Knin Area). How big were those two migrations enough say that in 1712 Lika has 2110 families. I found that many of those families moved to Lika and after that in Bos. Krajina. Many of those families appear in all three area: Bos. Krajina, Nord Dalmatia and Lika. For example: Gacesa, Brekic, Dobrijevic, Torbica,…

Yes and 2 more migrations one voluntary in the 50-ies during Tito and another one during the last war. Doesnt make things easier

hehe thank you very much...

I found that in 1692. year 500 families (5000 persons) moved from Bjelaj (Bos. Petrovac) to Kninska Krajina (Plavno, Padjene, at Zrmanja, Mokro Polje).

Any data on Bajic family in that relocation from Bilaj to Mokro Polje in 1692? Possibly Tanasije Bajic.

Also I would appreciate any info on Bajic Family from Mokro Polje.

Hi Vlade,

Most of Macuras lived in village called Macure (Kistanje) nearby Knin. Some of them (my family) moved to Medjare (Bribirske Mostine, Benkovac) nearby Sibenik, where they still live. We all celebrate Saint Michael Arhangel.

According to my information Macure migrated from northen Greece (Vlaji) via Montenegro to Kistanje (Knin), small fraction setled in Bosnia. I understand there is a Macuras cemetery in Kolasin (Montenegro).

Hi,i have surname Torbica.I am from Sisak,Banija(4th generation).I only know that Marko with his wife Kata and his seven sons and one daughter came to Glinski Trtnik (Glina,Banija)but i don't know when.My patron saint is St. Stevan.

Hi Rajko,
do you know when did Macure emigrated from Montenegro and why. My grandfather was born in Kistanje and his whole family lived there. I know that they moved after the second world war to Sid and Sidski banovci.

Hi, is it possible to know from where like say families who has the saint Sv.Stevan, from where those famillies originally came from? I mean is it possible to track that down to where it begann? if so it would perhaps be easier to see whos from where, and so on...
