My grandfather,Risto Mucibabic, was born in Nevesinje in 1881. My grandmother,Djurdja Koprivica, was born in Gatsko in 1888. We celebrate our Slava on Nov 21. Which Serbian clan(s) do we belong to? How do I go about finding out more about my family history?
I split the thread because it wasn't really relative to the clan discussion. Finding out your family history can be done by inquiring at the archives. You should write them with what information you have now. The fact that you have dates and family saint information gives you a good head start.

Thanks for the info. Which archives are you refering to? Do you have a contact point?
Hello,
Mucibabici live in Ljeskov Dub, Fojnica and Zijemlja (Nevesinje region). Once they lived in village Ravno in Gacko region.
There are existing two stories about their origins.
In first one Mucibabici came to Herzegovina from Skopska Crna Gora. It is mountain region in Macedonia.
Second one story tell us that Mucibabici´s origins came from brotherhood Rakocevici from clan Moraca.
They praising saint Arhangel Mihailo.
Try http://www.arhivrs.org/ and the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Banjani is the name of the clan you are looking for. My family(Tepavcevici) came from the same area. Banjani covers the area around Gacko and into Crno Gora.
Poštovani gospodine Mučibabiću,
Javljam Vam se na forumu pošto me je na to natjerala moja punica Mučibabuša[hot]
Ona zna dosta o lozi Mučibabića i spremna je da Vam pomogne koliko je u mogućnosti u traganju za porodičnim porijeklom.
Ako je Risto Gligorev sin onda ste bliži rod, a i kao nije uputiće Vas na onoga ko ima više podataka.
Hi, name:bojic from Jazak, Irig, Vojvodina and name:Rusinko from mariapoc.
Do I come from a clan and what would it be? Also, any reccomandations for
serbian genealogist researchers in Serbia before I visit there?
What do you know exactly about your family? Did you read the FAQ in the General forum? Did you read the articles in the Learning Center?
Dont go to Serbia without knowing more then just this, it will be a waste of money and time.
Regards,
Sergej
