    1. [CROATIA-L] Internal migration
    2. =James Birkholz=
    3. My knowledge of Croatian history is still only general, but I have a specific question. In the early 1800's, an ancestor moved from the center of the family's distribution in Gorski Katar region and started a separate branch in eastern Bjelovar area (Grubisno Polje). Are there any possible explanations in the history that might provide a reason for this miniature migration, or should I operate from the assumption that it was probably just an ordinary "grass is greener" move? I know that this area was heavily contested in the recent war, and that the area then had a large Serbian population. James
