Hi -still canot get on to any downloads - it says 401 Authorization required.

Which ones you try, I tried they seem to work for me.
Oh as for the address of the archives, they are posted in the forum, just use the search function. Then download the letter template and send it away.

Thanks for the reply - did you find out anything from our conversation last night?

Yes, you should write to the archives in Montenegro first. They hold the info from Bijelo Polje and Berane. The Montenegrin phonebook was offline so when its online I will see what else I can find for you.

Thanks - Still unable though to get into the letter templates - Put in my user name etc. and it says 401 Authorization Required Invalid login credentials!

Sergej - Sorry - forget above. I have changed my password and can now get into the letter templalates - Andy

Hi -spoke again to my mother- still unclear about his origins although she says that he was fiercely proud of his roots. He was an active memeber of a society called Draza Michailovic Combatants Association UK, the society pledged that would return to yugoslavia if and when they were needed,

Does that association still excist?

Yes - when i was young i remember party nights that my grandthether held. As achild I remember going to two orthodox funerals. i can remember everyone drinking a spirit at the grave whilst the casket was downen

Hi - sorry if i did not answer your qustion about the association last night- we were having a family party and drink was flowing - the association does still exist although I believe it is more of a social thing nowadays and has just kept up the name rather than being focused on its original polital aims - something that I do not understand nor I am interested in - Andy

Hi - I there is a pace on the map called Bijelani - Would this by any way pronounced like Breanna / Brianna etc in English?

No Serbian is a simple language. You pronounce it the way it is written. BTW can you make an inquiry with that association and see what they have? Perhaps they know more.

Thanks again - I looked up the association - the nearest branch is only about twelve miles away! When I telephoned them they are based at an orthodox church and have invited me over for service and to speak with the local Serbian community. Like you they said that Culomovic was a very unusual name and also gave me contact details for the associations headquarters in London who should hopefully retain records etc from the founding members - thanks for pointing me in this direction - Andy
