Marie: I have a Lucija Giurascic (sp.???) who was born sometime early enough to have a grandchild, named after her in 1812 (her name was Lucija Kulis~). Lucija, the younger, was born in Mrcine, Gruda, Croatia; her parents were Baldo Kulis~ and Marija Hendic'. Lucija, the elder's, husband was Mihovil Kulis~. I'm not at all clear about the last name spelling since there is only one record I have found it on. Perhaps there's a connection?
