"since nobody has actual family tree info for me"
Ehm no, that only happens after A LOT of work on your end on establishing the exact village and parish of origin and family and household your ancestors came from . Only based on that we can reconnect you with descendants of the same family.
See some of the difficulties of that process described in this research article :

check the Privrednik online database for territorial presence of the surname in second half of the XIX and first half of the XX century :
Location is *Mjesto*, and you need to click on *Naprijed* under the table for more pages of results.
How to estimate the age of the people listed in this database and how to interpret it you can learn here :

Other than that, we have access to heritage books for one of the areas of origin of Vukelić emigrants - Drežnica and Gomirje monastery communities that include villages named *Vukelići* .
If you provide details of the individuals you are looking for i can do a look up for you.
