Hi there everyone

I am looking for some help in finding any information or any living relatives from Serbia. After speaking to my grandad, Milan Ignjatovic born: 24/03/1925 I have found out all the following information about the Ignjatovic family.

Our families Saint is St Nikola, our family lived in a small village called Ramna Reka (not sure about this spelling) near to the city of Jagodina. As far as I am aware the Ignjatovic family were 1 of 2 of the wealthiest families in the village.

So far I have this information:

My Great Grandfather was Velichko Ignjatovic, a master Bricklayer in Jagodina (died just before the war) and my Great Grandmother was Milena Ignjatovic who died in 1929.

My grandad had two sisters and a brother, his two sisters were Vera Ignjatovic and Daesa Ignjatovic, and Daesa married a Croatian before the war and became Daesa Hudcsj.
His brother was Zhack?, or the Serbian equivalent of Jack Ignjatovic (brother also died before the war).

My grandad after the death of his mother stayed with his Aunt and uncle (mother’s sister) Jorge Ristic and Stana Ristic.

My great grandmother also had a brother, Peter Mihailovic who worked as a partner with Jilatovic (not sure about this spelling) as a solicitor in Jagodina.
The Jilatovic family were the other wealthiest family in the village.

My grandad does not know if there is anyone alive from any part of his family, including his sisters or any descendents from his family. I have no information about my great Grandfather’s side of the family.

Is there any help you can give me, or point me to where I can find out some information, or to someone who may know.

My Grandad came to England after the war as he was in Bergen Belsen Concentration camp when the British came. He had a friend also at Bergen Belsen who may have signed his papers to come to England, his name was General Milenko Simovich (I think this is correct, but I have a photo of him).

I have a few photos of my grandad’s family when he lived in Serbia, but my grandad was quite young before the war so this information is what I have been able to piece together from him, so I am not sure on the accuracies of my spelling.

Any help you can give me would fantastic.

Thanks

Brian Ignjatovic
