Hello Tatjana, Thank You for your reply! Your e-mail helped alot, the fog is starting to clear.................;-) I see that Gjurgjanci is close to Vrbica in eastern Croatia. What is the Municipality in which Vrbica is contained? Do you know if it was in Syrmia or Slovonia? Any clue or guess what the actual spelling of Johann "HONIJAK"? name actually is? What would another spelling of the name be? Nationality? I am wondering if Buckinie? is actually Bunkin in the BATSCHKA? Thank You Again!

Kurt, Gj is an archaic form thus the correct modern spelling is Ðurđanci where the D and d have crossbars through them giving them the sound like the j in jury Today Vrbica (pop. 797) is in the County of Osijek-Baranja municipality of Semeljci while Ðurđanci (pop. 574) is part of Grad (town) Đakovo Actually Srijem was part of Slavonia. Vrbica (Wrbitza in German) was part of the old Pozega County http://www.talmamedia.com/map/hhcounty/images/megyek1/54pover.gif Based on searching present day Osijek-Srijem county for all names beginning with HON and HAN... perhaps the name is HANULJAK or HANULAK both of which are found in places near Đakovo Using Stephen Morse's One Step for all names beginning with HANUL find several HANULAK, HANULJAK, HANULYAK and on Johann HANULZAK Robert Kurt McCrary <kurtmccrary@yahoo.com> wrote: Hello Tatjana, Thank You for your reply!
