Can you give me a correct spelling of the name?
Is it

1. Pleca,
2. Pleča,
3. Pleća

Hi Sergei sorry I don't have a serbian latinica font but...the correct spelling of the name is: Plečas (with the s being a sh) so phonetically - plechash.

I can trace the name to the region where you mention it. However, you will need to backtrace yourself the line to see if you end up in Montenegro. I can't find any direct link but the phonebook from Serbia and Montenegro have the name. Plečaš

You will have to write the archives of Croatia with your query. They will respond.

It is Plećaš.This last name is from Bruvno and Divoselo in Lika(Croatia).They are all Serbs.

Upravu ste,al sve je to bilo pre rata.Tesko da je koji Plecas ostao jos.Inace moji su iz Bruvna ali su se preselili u Slavoniju,posle u Novi Sad.Plecasa je bilo i u Lickom Gracacu kao i u samom Gracacu.

Moja majka se djevojački prezivala Plećaš. Familija moga djeda je prije 2. svjetskog rata živjela u Smljanu, ali su inače iz Divosela.

For bplecas,
surname of my grandfather is Plećaš.

Mery dali znas kako je ime tvoga dede? ima tri pleme plecaske familje u divoselo i ja sam rod sa sva tri.

Moj djed se zove Milan, a pradjed Marko. Imam zapisano nesto od njegovog rodoslovnog stabla, pa cu ti to poslati.
Inace, sva djedova familija je pobijena u 2 sv. ratu u Smiljanu. Ostao je samo on i njegov stric.

Just came across this forum and would like to find out more info from bplecas, if possible. My father, Andrew Plecas, parents' were from Gospic and moved to the west coast of Canada in the early 1900's. Have not had much luck in tracing the family roots so far and would be really interested in learning anything that is available.

Karcrawford I've had a little luck digging up info. Drop me an email and I'll fill you in:

My father is from Divoselo. His mother's last name was Plećaš. Her brother Nikola (if we remember good, because she's not alive anymore) migrated to US between 1915 and 1925. She used to say he was in Kansas city, but we hadn't heard anything from him since the second world war.
Nowadays, before the civil war in Yugoslavia, there were, as bplecas says, three families Plećaš or in three different parts of Divoselo lived Plećaš...

Anabela i moji su poreklom iz Bruvna. Moj pradeda Gajo (Mile) Plecas se doselio u Ban. Karadjordjevo, a njegova majka se zvala Božica. Kad vidis ovu poruku ako skontas neku vezu, molim te da mi se javis. Ja inace studiram u Novom Sadu.

Nadaki, we had a relative who I think was named Nikola who lived in either Kansas City of in Nebraska. I wonder if its the same man?

To the interested, with some help I was able to backtrace the Plecas name in Divoselo so far to 1735, to a Plecas who had seven sons.

Nadaki drop me a line. I've done a little research and would like to find out more about your connection to Nikola Plecas in Kansas City.
