This is the history of this family: http://www.answers.com/topic/zrinski There are almost 300 Croatia tel subscribers with the name ZRINSKI, a few ZRINYI in Germany and probably many in Hungary. What their connection, if any, is to this family, I do not know. Historically, as I mentioned earlier, it is believed that the male line descendants of Nikola Miklos SUBIC ZRINSKI, perished with the death of the son of Peter who was executed by Austrian authorities in 1671. dr T.Former

No disrespect meant Dr.T, My only lead is family lore and I must pursue whatever leads I can find....It was told to us by my wife's father who's surname was Zrinyi that there is a relationship to Miklos at no time was it said that there was a direct descendancy....when we look at the historical perspective there were others of that name who were related to Miklos/Nikola Subic Zrinski and yet to this day there is some that claim connection to this line...I would love to hear from others who have the same family name to compare their family lore with what we have been told.

Robert, No disrespect meant. However in our pursuit of family history we will gather a great deal of information some factual, some embelished and some completely off base. And we should record all of this, not as fact but as information during our research. In any case the best way to pursue genealogical research is to gather this info, working from the present backwards. As far as any connection to famous or nobile family that will be confirmed or denied with true research and not by looking for tales from others. I believe that Dr. Former was only feeding you valid, factual information when she stated that "that it is believed that the male line descendants of Nikola Miklos SUBIC ZRINSKI, perished with the death of the son ..." While it may be interesting to "hear from others to compare family lore"... this will probably not gain you much in your research to find the origin of your wife's family. Again a methodical approach will yield what we are looking for...some places to begin would be in records in Hungary.. have you located the church or civil records? You may find them via the LDS Church Family History Library... have you checked their database to see if they have records for that church or town? This is where you find the "leads" you say you are looking for.
