Are you looking for living relatives? If so you can use the Croatian Phonebook -->Google

Please give us more information - name, birth year of your ancestor, birth place, any known siblings or parents information, when did he emigrate and did he stay in touch with anyone back home?

As for clan /pleme origin, I will look up the available literature online and post links for you here.

Have you checked the www.poreklo.rs portal? They have links for a lot of resources in Serbian language.

I, too, am looking for relatives of the Rapaic/Rapaich family.

Part of my family is from the Lika County of Croatia. However their surname is not Rapaic but Gostovic/Gostovich and they are from Vodetec, just outside of Brinje.

Evica Gostovic (born 21 Nov 1906 at Gostovic Polje, Vodetec) married Dane Rapaic (born 28 May 1894 at Bosanka Dubica, Bosnia) on 12 Jan 1919 in Chisholm, Minnesota. It is probable that Dane Repaic arrived in the US about November, 1913. We have not yet established when Evica came tot he United States.

Dane parents are reported to be Jovan and Stana Rapaic. Evica's parents are reported to be Mehilo and Millica Gostovic.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
