I believe I am your most diverse member. Antoni, Dorner, Vrgovic and now Weisfeld. My mom was DS and my dad a 2nd generation Serb. I never knew what DS was until the Serbian Genealogical society told me to look there for my family. I knew my dad did not want my sister and I to speak any other language because he didn't want us to have accents. I never heard one war time story other than how hard it was to find food. My mom never said a word, and we never asked. Family always came first and we were a tight group. Having recently found other living family has been such an adventure. My parents tried with no luck. Now I am finishing what they started and new found relatives are joining me! Unbelievable!
