I have been researching records in Dalmation (Konavle Valley) and have come up with a Niko CAR SILVA. I have never heard of double surnames. Niko has the -ov name of his father as a middle name as well, so it's not related to that. On top of that, Silva is a Spanish or Portuguese surname, per my research. I'm quite confused. > > Patty I believe binames and 'aliases' have been discussed earlier in this mailing list. In the Rijeka area you can find the double surnames : Car-Dasovic' Car-Manestar Car-Mihec Car-Pus^ic' Car-S^tefanac Car-Slavic^ek Car-Z^ilic' Car-Cattonaro (Italian) (Italian has no letter K and uses letter C instead. There may have been an equivalent Croatian surname spelling K.... as well ?) Zadar has a Car-Grebeldinge. Some otok ? had many double surnames Car listed . Usually the surname left of the hyphen (-) was the original surname. Sometimes the two surnames were switched left to right for whatever the reason.
thanks, Frank. You're always such a help. I frankly don't remember any discussion on double surnames for Croatia, but I trust you are correct.
